    Only poorly managed banks will fail. Those banks that weren't complete idiots are doing just fine.

    As soon as I heard about this, all I could think of was this movie clip:

    I looked at the footage () Noone mentioned this yet, but I was extremely surprised that he managed to
    - to start shouting at GW
    - take off his shoes
    - thow one
    - throw the other one a couple of seconds later

    And all without being shot or clotheslined by the secret service. It also took fairly long before a secret service agent got to GW. It almost appears as if they were a bit lax because they were in a controlled environment.

    And yet, GW dodged that shoe very well indeed. Good reflexes on that man. And the way he dealt with it afterwards was good too.

    Don't worry about the terrorist, he's got his Christmas present . . .
