CEO Morning Report: Naked Brit Tourist in Tokyo's Imperial Gardens
That's pretty amusing, but few are laughing at AIG's barefaced--probably bare-buttocked, too--trip to the spa.
Initially, new A.I.G. CEO Edward Liddy agreed that the retreat--now classified as a reward trip for star independent agents, scheduled well before the company's collapse--was improper, which he "would have stopped...if anyone had told him."

CEO Morning Report: Pass the Gravy
As a journalist, these are the days of riches more embarrasing than Dick "Blameless" Fuld's. The choices for material for this column run like wild horses every day--which one to ride?

CEO Morning Report: Gimme Water
Amid the chaos, Lehman CEO Dick Fuld states that, “the company did everything it could to limits its risks and save itself.”

CEO Morning Report: Inside the Cauldron of Capitalism
The U.S. government announced that it is changing the national symbol to a condom because it accurately reflects its current political stance. A condom allows for inflation, destroys the next generation, protects pricks, and gives a sense of security while you’re being screwed.
Utterly spent from ranting and raving these past two weeks—as fatigued as I imagine you are, dear audience, from the reading of same—I must re-condition my sensibilities with a dose of humor (in the business context, naturally).

CEO Morning Report: "Our Potholes Have A Few Roads"
So hazardous are the roads in India, writes National Geographic, that driving is not about skill, it's about reflexes. Sacred cows always have the right of way--even if they happen to be planted in the middle of the country's new "Golden Quadrilateral" superhighway--but unsurprisingly, there are accidents aplenty.

CEO Morning Report: Claw-Back Provisions
Off-balance sheet entities, credit default swaps, derivative securities and bridge loans to nowhere--just a few of the unsound and unsafe culprits at the heart of the financial meltdown--but Bob McTeer, former president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas and now a distinguished fellow at the National Center for Policy Analysis in Texas, wants us all to stop treating Wall Streeters like villains and resolve this crisis.
