So if Six Flags go under, does that mean Danny boy will have to sell his stake in the Redskins? One can only hope...

No. It means he will have to gouge Skin's fans even worse.

Good riddance Blockbuster, fuck that place.

Bearingpoint is no surprise. They've been mired in financial difficulties and restatement of earnings over the last 4 years.

On the retail side, I'll miss Border's since they are one of the only bookstores in the area besides Crooks-a-Million and Walden's.

Add Kohl's to the list. From Bloomberg:

"Kohl’s Corp. tumbled 5.7 percent to $35.78 after Goldman Sachs downgraded the department-store chain to “sell” from “neutral” and added the shares to the firm’s “conviction sell” list."

Looks like wings & beer is the place to invest:

"Buffalo Wild Wings Inc. jumped 27 percent to $27.74. The restaurant chain specializing in chicken wings and beer said it earned 43 cents a share in the fourth quarter. That beat the average analyst estimate by 14 percent, Bloomberg data show."

All things considered, I doubt Kohl's is anywhere near being "on the ropes," like Sears and some other major retailers.

That's all those guys who used to go to Ruth's Chris and Morton's. Now they are going to quarter wing night.

Look at the CFO history for BearingPoint, some have resigned in as little as 3 weeks
