Also, to clarify an earlier post....

No one sent me a nasty email or left a comment using profanity or racial slurs. Goodness. My readers are usually gentle people!

Referring, in a round about way, to the idiot from a few weeks ago who was trying to drag folks into his blog war with Meg. Not referring to anyone else commenting on any other thread. Don't anyone get their knickers in a wad.

Barclays? Barclays is bad? Common sense says that a domestic buyer is out of the question. No credit card company or bank has any money. Foreign banks or equity firms or even foreign lenders are VERY leery of our markets at the moment, especially credit markets. Who would buy us? We were hoping for a European firm; one looking for a long play, without a current stake in the U.S. market (or at least, not a large one).

Ah, thoughts.

I'm tired; I need to finish my porch.

I did talk to my boss and nicely broached the subject. He was very dismissive. I am disappointed and upset, but it isn't unexpected.
