...and they were on of the key players in the campaign of lies against the monorail project, and tried to do a mega-development on some of the last wild land in Southern California.

You all know that SeaFirst was bought by B of A in the late 80's and they waited a decade to change the name to avoid freaking people out. (They slowly introduced the Versteller accounts etc) But there was a legal problem with B of A doing business under SeaFirst in the Northwest so they changed the branches over.

Something similar is supposed to happen with Washington Mutual before everything changes to Chase; but all the branches will get new signage probably within the next year to 18 months.

And when we all have one SUPERBANK, when that collapses we are so totally fucked!!! YEAH!!!!

I remember that slogan, which was always followed by the terse but reassuring words "Member FDIC". How I always wondered if a day would come that we'd need the FDIC to save us.

“We’ve seen what happens when a nice little community savings bank grows into a greedy giant.”

It can happen to anyone.

Moral: Beware giving anyone or anything the benefit of the doubt.

Hire him as your intern! Great writing skills, great sense of humor.

But he has to change his name to Paul Lindy West, and then perform selections from Bye Bye Birdie on YouTube.

I remember that campaign. They used to fly Booth Coleman up from LA every couple of months to tape the spots.
