1. They converted it to a cruise ship...
all Merill Lynch employees are getting a free 12-month vacation... non-paid.

7. I'm used to seeing Seven-11 robbers pictures
not what MBA crooks look like. They just dress differently I guess. That bunch of white honky MF'ers and their token Asian employees need to spend some time in the penitentiary for robbing their clientele blind.

3. Yup - it's safe and on it's way

A freighter that lost power off Galveston and endured the impact of Hurricane Ike is now operating under its own power, U.S. Coast Guard officials said today.

The Antalina, a 584-foot Cyprus-flagged bulk freighter, will move to a point where it can drop anchor and then make port sometime later, said Chief Petty Officer Thomas Blue.

Although the ship is making way on its own, Blue said it is being escorted by a tug boat. The 22-member crew rode out the storm about 170 miles southeast of Galveston.

Coast Guard officials said the crew is safe.
