Hey, a
little quiz for you. What is the difference between an A.I.G. executive and a

Remember Him?

Disturbing News
And the Bonuses Continue
Fannie Mae, the federally
run mortgage finance giant,
plans to pay four top executives $1 million or more in retention bonuses.
The bonus plan prompted the company's federal regulator to defend compensation
decisions the government made when it took over Fannie Mae in September. It
comes as American International Group faces public outrage over $165 million in
bonuses it awarded last week.
Fannie Mae, which suffered $59 billion in losses last year, has requested $15
billion in taxpayer assistance and has said it expects to need plenty more.
"Well,
here's my favorite story of the week. I just love this story. Police in Illinois
claim that Gary Skoien, who is the former chairman of the Cook County Republican
Party, was in his children's' play room at 1:00 a.m. in the morning with two
hookers, when his wife walks in, catches him and the wife beats him up with a
toy guitar. And she's like a superstar. In fact, women in the neighborhood now
call her Guitar Hero." --Jay Leno

"The

or commit suicide. But I think that's plain wrong. I mean, why give them the
option of quitting?" --Jay Leno
Duke versus Obama
Duke basketball
coach Mike Krzyzewski isn't thrilled his team got snubbed by the leader of the
free world.
"Somebody said that we're not in President Obama's Final Four, and as much as I
respect what he's doing, really,
the economy is something that he should focus on, probably more than the
brackets," Krzyzewski told a reporter from the Associated Press on
Wednesday.

Subject: Your Google Revenues
Hi, Lisa. Just read this
on your site today:
In May 2007 my Google revenues dropped almost 40%.
Today my Google revenues are down almost 80%.
That is truly distressing. I guess times are really, really bad.
Just wanted to express my concern and sympathy.
What you do is important. Please don't lose heart!
Love,
Ellie
Thanks, Ellie.
I don't understand why my Google revenues dropped so, I have about the same amount of viewers.
I'm trying to keep my head above water. A retention bonus would really help me now!

A photo from the expedition group Adventure Ecology shows an artist's impression of the completed plastic sailboat "Plastiki" at Pier 31 in San Francisco, California. The Plastiki is a 60-foot (18-meter) sailing catamaran currently under construction that will feature a hull constructed from approximately 12,000 recycled plastic bottles and will sail 11,000 miles from San Francisco to Sydney, Australia when completed, according to the organization.
