Ladies Who Lobby

The only way to make it through Monday’s activities without being sober. Print and post at your office viewing party for maximum fun.

Cliff aka Precipice aka Crag aka Bluff – Thanks to the good graces of Congress and their ability to problem solve, we find ourselves faced with another “cliff” two mere months away. While major kudos should go to Ben Bernanke for coining “fiscal cliff,” we feel it is time to move …

Now that we’ve entered the throes of intern season, we thought it’d be fun to point out a few archetypical characters that fill our halls of power and proudly sport their badges. Let’s start with the various forms of the TMItern. This intern can take many forms. One, a derivative …
