Lehman Brother CEO Dick Fuld was punched in the face by another Lehman Bros. employee, who apparently knocked him out cold while he was running on the treadmill at the company gym. I only wish I had been there to do it myself.
It amazes me. After completely gutting their companies, these guys still actually think they deserve huge payouts and bonuses. And they’re getting them! None of them will be eating cat food and ketchup soup in their retirement. If there was any justice in the world, they most certainly would be.
First we got bail-out fever for bad debt created from bad mortgages. Now we’re going to start buying the short-term Commercial Paper so that “qualified” companies can have operating capital. And don’t expect McCain or Obama to do anything but keep things the same or worse once they’re in office. Go ahead and dream of a day when “hope”, “change,” and all the other words they bandy about have meaning, but don’t believe that day will come anytime soon.
I wonder if these free-market, I’ll-die-before-letting-anyone-but-me-take-a-government-handout guys will ever stop bribing our political leaders into letting them belly up to the money trough. My guess is: Not until we make them. And unfortunately, we’re going to be too busy ourselves for a long, long time, paying off this @$#%#$! debt that their buddies so cheerfully saddled us and our children with.
And with that, back to the salt mine…
