Money can’t fix Citibank

If these guys can’t save Citibank

Sameer Al Ansari, Chief Executive of Dubai International Capital told delegates at a private equity conference that it will take more than the combined efforts of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, the Kuwait Investment Authority and Saudi investor Prince Alwaleed bin Talal to save the bank.

…then CitiBank probably can not be saved. From my personal experiences with certain segments of CitiBank — which must be representative of the whole — I doubt CitiBank is worth saving anyway.

Probation for pot prank

The moral of this story is that perhaps Pueblo police officer Henry Gabaldó might want to lay of the Whoppers, even if they are not laced with Marijuana. Seriously though, the last thing Gabaldo needed was to eat a marijuana-laced Whopper. Someone could have got hurt while he raced back for another Whopper.

But really, seriously, even though Gabaldo’s mantra is someone could have got hurt…

For Gabaldón, who said he or someone else could have died that night, [probation is] not good enough. He said he constantly ponders the what-ifs of what might have happened.

…and indeed someone could have, as I mentioned already. But nobody did get hurt. As one commenter said, “Hopefully the pot kept the cops from tasering or beating the shit out of anyone that night.”
