Hank Paulson, Hippie Scum
A couple of Goldman Sachs shareholders from something called the Free Enterprise Action Fund are seeking support for a proposal they're putting forth at tomorrow's shareholder meeting. In it, they note that Goldman CEO Hank Paulson is Chairman of the Board of the Nature Conservancy and allege that he's promoting the Conservancy's nefarious agenda via Goldman's shareholder value-destroying environmental policy.
And they have a point. Environmentalists don't belong in banking! If we ever start a bank, we're going to build it entirely out of styrofoam, line it with asbestos and park our Hummers in the front.

Trees suck up carbon dioxide, not oxygen.

So Goldman has a policy that states greenhouse gases are harmful to the environment. So what?
Does anyone else other than these two bozos even know that Goldman even has an environmental policy?
Does anyone care?
Instead of wasting scarce and precious bandwidth, these two clowns should be required to spend the next year restoring snakes to their native habitat in the Amazon rainforest or something.
