I saw this tonight:

..but don't have time to check out if it is true true or just NRO true. If it is true true, all the chest thumping going on is a bit sketchy.

Yeah right.....these people aren't going to kill themselves.....they just got HUGE bonuses!

I would rather face a cold reality than delude myself with comforting fantasies.

The Great AIG Tomato Toss

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

Why not question something for a change?

Sticky legal issue as far as I can see, those bonuses are contractual obligations aren't they? But I would love to see every effort made to get the money back anyway, use every legal trick in the book and if that doesn't work write a new book. Or how about this: Okay, you can pay your bonuses, but they must be exactly matched to an immediate payment on the government loan you got. You pay out a $10,000,000 bonus, you pay us back the same amount at the same time.
