The Golden Bog Award for Worst Economic Behavior in 2008

Macro Man,
Thain is a great pick for this distinguished award but, I must confess a small measure of disappointment insofar as there is no 2nd or, 3rd place awards for your other nominees.
Surely the Friehling/Horowitz group would offer some suggestions to this end. Or, perhaps, Mr. Madoff could venture an idea or two.
We can't have Ministers Brown & Putin off in some corner, sulking over a perceived slight now, can we?
I implore you, Sir! It is certainly not my place to presume anything in this Golden Sanctuary of Achievment - but, possibly a crumb or two for these two distinguished men! What about a gold plated peso banknote overstamped with a large "GBP" & signed by Alistair Darling (or, would this risk offending the Mexican government?) for Minister Brown? For Mr. Putin, possibly a very thinly plated gold tank (an old T34 might do)? Austerity should be the measure, in any regard, but I'm way over my boundaries! Godspeed!
