Bonus Episode: Mephistopheles in Manhattan

Harry Angel: Louis Cyphre . . . Lucifer. Even your name is a dime store joke.
Louis Cyphre: Mephistopheles is such a mouthful in Manhattan, Johnny...
-From Angel Heart, 1987

Mephistopheles might be a mouthful in Manhattan. Or maybe Mephistopheles is already in Manhattan.

For those of you in the, "We could just neeeevveerrr have another 2008" crowd, the documentary "Money, Power, Impunity: The Bankers Who Stole The World" should be mandatory viewing. If you get a bit of gray in your hair (silver, in my case), you'll realize you've lived long enough to see these "we could just never" events happen multiple times. Funny how that works.

In a shining example of cult-like tactics used in Corporate America, the CEO of Lehman Brothers is shown in an internal (or perhaps infernal) video salivating over the idea of ripping out hearts and eating them in front of the victims. I mean . . . WTF?
