If it were 3 women ...

I've had a little hiatus. I'm back. Enough said.

So, I'm glancing through the New York Times Online and there is a photo of Henry Paulson, Ben Bernanke and Chris Cox, and I can't help but think, if it were 3 women up there holding the world's largest economy in their hands, and who have clearly taken their eyes off the ball over the last few years, do you think there might be some questions around competency and gender? Do you think that might be more than a slight possibility?

It's just amazing to me that all of these men well into l'age moyen have really mucked things up through greed and sheer wanton hubris. I suspect this calls for a little gender discrimination and we should just say, get off the stage you men - you have been toying with matters beyond your bald comprehension and it is time to turn it over to the more rational sex.

And could Hank Paulson get himself a suit that actually fits? If he were a woman we'd be transfixed by the ill-fitting suit, and this from a guy who left Goldman Sachs with $38 million.

All these men with all this experience and what a mess it is.
