Skin of Evil
The U.S. government continues to wrestle with the idea of setting up a "Bad Bank" -- a place to put all the evil "toxic" crap that banks have amassed over the last few years, thereby leaving what remains of the titans of the financial sector clean, unsullied, and ready to do business. Sweet, sweet business.
Haven't we seen this before, however? Sure, there was the Swedish bank rescue in the 1990s, but I feel somewhere earlier I heard about a race of titans collecting all of their evil into a single entity for easy disposal. Anyone remember how it turned out?
