Below is an advertisement for AIG that ran some time ago. That same insurance company is now asking the Fed’s for a bridge loan and is fighting for its life. If you don’t recognize the words right off the bat look up T.S. Eliot’s “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”.

We are sorry that Eilot got dragged into this and we would like to point out that it was not our fault. But the irony was so rich we could not resist posting it.
