The Banco Espirito Santo in Lisbon.
I thought it was funny naming a bank after the Holy Spirit, as religion and finance seem to be two areas that really, really don't mix. But this morning, bracing for the market fallout from the S&P downgrade, part of me wishes my money was in the care of some divinity. And haven't the battles we've been watching the past few months had their own brand of magical, almost religious, thinking? Tax cuts create jobs! Funny how the Bush tax cuts didn't create any. It doesn't matter if we default! The ratings agencies beg to differ.
All we can do is keep our heads down, and head off for another working week.
