Time to get your glasses Rx changed, Doug.  Have you taken a gander at 
Rubin's boss, Sandy Weill?  Muy gordo.  David H. Komansky, CEO of Merrill 
Lynch?  Another porker.  And what about former Wall Street denizen and now 
nominal Street overseer Harvey Pitt?  The proverbial 500 pounds of shit in a 
350-pound sack.  Bloated caricatures, all of 'em.
