Comments on: IBM suspended from federal government contracts

IBM is added to list of "excluded" contractors after Environmental Protection Agency alleges serious wrongdoing; it's unclear whether the company has been given a chance to respond to the charges.

The General Services Administration vs IBM: Huh!

If all the U.S. Housing Loans were "One Generated" Loan what a "Great Loan" that would/could be. And, If all the Back-to-Back Letters-of-Credit were One Back-to-Back Letter-of-Credit what a Great Letter-of-Credit that would be. And, If All the Banks were One Bank what a Great bank that would be. But for the "forest" that the General Services Administration may be that all the other trees (that other opportunities be) cannot be seen. Huh. ;-) !

"And, If All the Banks were One Bank...

... what a Great Bank that would be". Like this one:

"The IDB is the world?s largest regional development bank and the leading source of multilateral financing for Latin America and the Caribbean. In 2007 the IDB Group approved new operations totaling more than $9.6 billion". ;-)!

I never liked Lotus Notes anyway...

Notes

IBM bad - Halliburton good?

Let me see if I have this right. IBM is blocked from government contracts because they do not meet EPA standards, yet Halliburton has tens of billions of no bid contracts and they are one of the biggest offenders of enviormental rules in the world?

This must be a late April fool joke right?
