Marked down from $37.99 to $19.99 for those seeking to bestow bogus Papal Indulgences as part of some philanthropic pr effort upon the sage advice of their fellow Harvard MBAs. I once ran the philanthropy Scene Room in Wealth Bondage, dressed as a Carmelite Nun, so I am not pointing fingers here. Whatever Blankfein has done, I did worse and for less money. If I had a Harvard MBA I would probably be running Wealth Bondage by now. Ah me, the choices we make. I could have had a billion dollar bailout instead of begging for alms. We are all fine people to be taken at our word. Keep the indulgences, give me the money.

What an amazing comment! Many a Williams BA is also a Harvard MBA or Yale JD. I am sure that plenty of our peers with undergraduate degrees in the humanities got their fair share of the pie. Disassembling things? Where better to turn than a good liberal arts person cross trained in law, tax or finance?

Does the adult papal gown come with a lack of ironic distance or is that extra?
