The Wall Street we did not know.

Now, come on. A stiff upper lip would not get AIG or Washington Mutual sorted out. So why don't we have a sense of humor about it.

New York Magazine's Daily Intel looks at the other side of Wall Street.

"Did anybody else notice that, in all of the endless photographs and clips of disheartened bankers exiting the offices of Merrill Lynch and Lehman Brothers yesterday, a surprising number of them were ladies? And since it wasn't exactly an official workday, and many employees were just told to show up with boxes, lots of them showed up in casual clothes, like ponytails, gym shorts, tank tops, and the like — and they were actually kind of, well, hot? Finance hot, but still."



Catch the slideshow here. Read the captions. An Antifits recommendation. I don't care whether Sarah Palin of the "Walmart mom" pulls me up for sexism.

Hey, mind what you do though. My sister works for Goldman,

I love the new Facbook, and so should you.

If you have been alive in the past few days, It has either been pigs, lipstick or blatant nostalgia for the old Facebook. Or in a very dangerous world, all three. Together.

"Five million strong for the old Facebook.."

Ironically, this was someone's Facebook status update. Hey, Facebook has a hundred odd million users. Do the math. And I am not even counting the herds that have been left out all their lives, and now want to be a part of it, clouding every bit of rational judgement.

Hey, they merged news- feed with the Wall!

Thank You so much Facebook for that. If I have to do the mandatory birthday greeting, I don't have to scroll down your page, highly uninteresting in every way, and the multitudes of applications that would not in any way compensate for a sorry life, from your stupid bumper stickers about you loving everything from Marijuana to your dog. And I really do not want to read the witless quotes from your friends. About your dog.



Yes, I do welcome the fact that reading other people's wall posts got a tiny wee more difficult.

Fuckin' Facebook has gone commercial. They just want to put more ads.

Your mom does not work at wherever she does for free. I still have an unpaid position at The Antifits. Facebook is the cutting edge, having added another realm to the our lives. Call it Web 3.0. Call it human ingenuity. They deserve to make money, liquefy their innovation. and do what they believe would keep it that way. And frankly, you don't matter as much.

Actually you do. 1 in 100,000,000. That is you.

Why does it matter to me so much that they are five million strong for Facebook?

When it was about Pluto, it was cute. Not anymore. The new Facebook is an uncluttered and sophesticated leap in social networking. If you find it confusing, you will sort it out. At least, I hope you have the intelligence for it, which is not a lot. You will get used to it. Getting used to Sarah Palin is a lot mote difficult. I am working on that. So should you.

But all this. Is it symbollic of a bored society? Or a people that literally have no palette for the new? For tomorrow? For the cutting edge? For the innovative. And that worries me.

But man, not as innovative as Sarah Palin. That is John McCain territory. I guess, you need to be a Vietnam POW for such a brave palette.

Face it, the summer is over.

I hate to admit it. I am bit of a weather dork. I mean, to an extent that sometimes I find myself checking weather in Anchorage or say, something even more random like Somalia. Trust me, those places always manage to make you feel better.

Apparently I should be careful with Anchorage. Specially with Sarah Palin.

Either how, today was literally the first day of fall in New York. And like it or not, it is autumn in New York. I am excited. I will get corny and cheesy with this picture of the West Village now.



It is time to reclaim the New York of the proverbial romantic comedy. Check the 10- day forecast here. The summer is over.

And look to your right. The latest addition to The Antifits- Our own embedded real time Weatherman. Now be excited. Tell Your friends about it.

Face it, this is the place to be seen checking weather. How could you be anywhere else!

Barack gets it moving, but is it too late?

Obama: "You can put lipstick on a pig- It's still a pig...You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change, it is still gonna stink after eight years."

Look at Obama's latest commercial. Finally, they get it moving.



But could it be too late? Watch the McCain commercial. Call it obscene. Call it perverse. Or call it whatever you want to call it.

But damn, they bloody know how to get down, and dirty. Maybe, also win elections.



This is actually my first Sarah Palin tagged post. So Mrs. Palin, you even made it to The Antifits.

By the way, while we are at it, read Peggy Drexler's Palin: Don't underestimate the babe factor on The Huffington Post here.

And Maureen Dowd's take on Palin before the Charlie Gibson interview in today's op-ed in The Times here. Recommended.
