Conseco Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

(AP) - In the third-largest bankruptcy in U.S. history, Conseco Inc. filed for Chapter 11 protection after four months of talks with creditors to restructure the $6.5 billion in debt. Although the filing was not surprising given Consuelo's recent woes, it marked a dramatic downfall for a company who was once a Wall Street darling.

Where have I been?
I didn't even know that consuelo had a company.
I didn't know that she had recent woes.
I didn't even know that she was a Wall Street darling.

I guess we won't be receiving our regular ceramic mug of gift goodies by ups this Christmas, Awaders. Bummer.

My good sir, you, of all people, should know that you should never judge another person's woes until you walk a milum in their moccasins!

You can't hop a jet plane the way you can a freight train.
