re AIG bonus -
I find the circus about the bonus unbelievable. Of course did those guys rather belong in a jail than cashing in but are these 165M$ really worth the time the congress and our commander in chief spends on it? And now a law about taxation is passed ad hoc that probably has many unintended consequences some time down the road.

I also take offense on the scolding that AIG chief Libby got - he is not to blame for this mess. I think they should just have given them the bonus and then fired them. There ought to be some unemployed derivatives traders up for hire to replace them.

I wish Congress and our commander in chief apply the same energy and detail to the spending on the stimulus package.

OK this is an off topic post. however did anyone notice that this piece of garbage is actually up 17% today!
Go figure!
