#1 What possible motive could anyone have to bomb poor JPMorgan?

#2 I thought it was Goldman Sachs that screwed the pooch on Greece.

Oh well, seen one scummy investment banker, seen them all I guess.

BTW bombing US banks in Athens is an old sport in Greece. I was in Athens in 1977 and had an American Express Bank near the airport blow up in my face...I just walked out and had just put my bags in the taxi when kablooey....

#3 OK, Karl, can you establish your whereabouts when THIS explosion occurred?

#4 I thought it was Goldman Sachs that screwed the pooch on Greece.

I think it was both JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs.

Karl, something similar happened to Mr. Wife in about 1987. He'd just walked around the corner, when... But he was walking away instead of toward. I can vouch that he was at home due to snow when this one went off, though.
