"...notorious for having introduced to the Dutch Stock Exchange the
practice of trading in Shares one did not actually own."  MD.157

Mr. Gore lost the election, but while thousands of Wall Streeters are on
the streets  searching for a job amid the still smoldering concrete and
steel, Gore has been named a Vice President at one of the worlds
greatest short selling bond houses. Mr. Gore joins former DBL partners
and California "public servants" at MetWest. MetWest has made billions
of dollars selling securities it doesn't own. How does it manage that? 
Why, YOU lend them your securities, of course. Risky business. But,
being as you don't know anything about it, you can sleep at night.
You're in goods hands even if those hands have red ink and other red
liquids on them. 

How Gory! Gore is VP again. VP at MetWest. He will make more money this
year than he has in his entire career as a "public servant."  


This while the American Governance that gave it Charter, sinks beneath
oceanik Waves of Ink incarnadine.
