what astounds me is that anyone gives a crap about Standard and Poors' credit ratings anyway. I mean, these buffoons gave a ton of AAA ratings to utterly worthless mortage-backed paper.

actually, that is but a small factor in 'ability to repay', which is what the rating should be dealing with. Are you really uncertain that we, or any of the others, are not likely to repay? I'm not.
