Watching THE BIG SHORT is like gazing into Michael Moore's butthole with a telescope built by Seth MacFarlane.

The Big Short: Douchepocalypse Now

This movie deleted Meredith Whitney, the woman who predicted the 2007 financial crisis, but included two stripper scenes and hired Margot Robbie to explain subprime loans from a bubble bath ~so people would have something pretty to look at~. UNBELIEVABLE.

Meredith Whitney, financial analyst and author of "Fate of the States," called Detroit's bankruptcy a "game-changing event in an interview with The Daily Ticker: http://ow.ly/nmoFh What do you think? Will other cities follow suit?

>So now she’s decided to go further and start investing her own money and other people’s in “the whole investment super-cycle”. I ask whether it’s the idea of being even richer that motivates her. >“The thing for me is being right,” she says, brown eyes darkening to black, taking on that frightening look again. Has she ever been wrong? She thinks for a bit, and dredges up a few minor calls, all made some time ago. >...Then she says women aren’t interested in finance. But then she adds that men aren’t either. So why is she? The answer seems to be because it’s hard. “I got better grades in school with harder classes. If a class was supposed to be an easy A, I usually didn’t get an A. I would just get distracted.” That last part, yeah.

A Letter To Mistress Meredith Ann Whitney

February 7, 1833 London

I must ask your pardon from the outset, as I am wholly unfamiliar when it comes to matters of etiquette and form when addressing a woman of your station. It is, for instance, unknown to me what title your salutation should bear. How does one address a well presented harlot after all?  Perhaps it shall suffice merely to resort to "Mistress Whitney."  Very well.

Dear Mistress Whitney:

It will come as no surprise to you, certainly it has been none to me, to learn that I am aware of your overtures and ministrations with respect to one Muni Illinois, the First Count of Cook.  It now comes to my attention that, your shameless and shallow advances having been spurned by the kind and honorable Count, you seek to ruin him by an entirely different attack: the proliferate spread of slanderous and scurrilous lies and the intimation that his fortune is depleted, his estate in tatters, and his finances in ruin.  Your reputation as a gossip and malefactor in this regard is well known to all good citizens.

I cannot hope to appeal to a sense of honor, goodness, or honesty, as I know none exists in the dark stains of your black heart, and as such I can only offer you advice against the moral turpitude I am certain you will, in any event, not abandon:

One day you will feel the truth of these words; and draw from them the certain inference, that if you have strayed so far to forget yourself so and all the teaching that had ever been instilled into you, as—under any pretext—with any justification—through any temptation—to become the successor of those poor girls who must steal or destroy that which they cannot win over with goodness, and the progressive ideals of charity, sacrifice, and re-distributional love, you will one day find you have crossed too far to return to shore.

I don't imagine that my words will have any result of consequence, but perhaps some day I will be found wrong, and my counsel might remain to serve you as aid in the time of trial.

As for my most dear Count, our love is beyond your timid fiscal libel.

With Sincere Regard (But Little Hope) For The Hope Of Your Reform,

Charlotte Brontë, CFA

The smart money says the U.S. economy will splinter, with some states thriving, some states not, and all eyes are on California as the nightmare scenario. Analyst Meredith Whitney found the pressure point in American finance: the fear that American cities would not pay back the money they had borrowed.
