The roaches are always biggest at the end of the summer, and now they're taking over Radio City Music Hall. Hold onto your wallets, New York, because two weeks from yesterday, the World Business Forum is coming into town like a demon circus.

Despite being billed as "2 Inspiring Days" on the flier, anyone with a normal-sized brain and heart knows that "World Business Forum" is actually code for "darkened meeting in which covens of capitalists verbally fellate one another into believing that kicking the shit out of the common man isn't shameful."

If you've got the $2,290 participation fee, slither on over to 6th and 51st, and don't forget your waders, because it's bound to get pretty deep. Particularly awful should be Rudy "Fuckin' 9/11!!!!" Giuliani's take on how to put the government in your pocket and multi-multi-multi-millionaire Jack Welch, ex-CEO of GE, speaking about leadership. (Welch's most famous key to great leadership is, of course, aggressively opposing SEC regulation of outrageous executive compensation.) Oh, and David Rubenstein's speech on private equity ought to be very insightful for anyone interested in harboring fucking ridiculous ideas about how their fantastical wealth should face the lowest taxes the code allows.

MONEY! MONEY! MONEY! MONEY! MONEY! MONEY!
