Getting religion The board that oversees the Vatican bank, officially known as the Institute for Works of Religion, has dumped its chief and is looking for a new one. I wonder if they've thought of Lloyd Blankfein. Remember, the Goldman Sachs Group Inc. CEO famously told a Sunday Times of London reporter in 2009 that he was just a banker "doing God's work."

Under the mattress The Greeks can't seem to catch a break. Rightly concerned about the banking system, they've pulled billions in cash out of their banks.

Mad cows and partygoers Six cows crashed a weekend yard party in a small town north of Boston and drank the beer. "I could hear them [the partygoers]screaming in the backyard and I hoped they weren't getting trampled," Lt.. James Riter told a local reporter in Boxford, Mass.
