Kenneth Lewis and Bank of America: I really didn’t think it could get more decadent. Ruth and Bernard Madoff: arrogance personified. (By the way, we really got to them. Bernie was rumored to be happy to go to jail. At least the marshmallow attacks would finally end.)
But AIG just can’t let the audacity go unchallenged. $1 million dollar retention bonuses to people who quit, $4 million dollar bonus to the people who guided the company to losing $170 billion dollars. (Good job, dudes. You damn near sank Iceland!) I think I agree with Grassley. Follow the Japanese example, good fellows (and fellowettes). AIG executives should steer clear of Oregon. We have an assisted suicide law in this state.
But of all the contemptible acts of the times, can you believe that the Jackrabbits got a 7th seed in the Southeast bracket in the NCAA Women’s basketball tournament! (Note to the NCAA: despite the name “South” Dakota State, the campus is not really in the south - unless you’re standing on the campus of North Dakota State – in which case everything is in the south, except the University of North Dakota, and… the University of Manitoba and… okay, let’s stop the madness before it begins.) 7th seed. What an insult. Doesn’t it just frost you. I don’t know who decided the seeds, but I bet it was one of those executives from AIG. They are bad, bad people.
Go Jackrabbits!!!
