When Obama requested CEO salaries for companies receiving federal aid be kept under $500,000, Republicans went crazy. Now that a CEO gets millions they go crazy. What the hell do they want?

Keep that koolaid flowing folks...

Hmmm, don't think it was owned by us yet then. But I'd say a pretty good salary for a company that's about to go bankrupt. What do you think? Or do you?

That's too funny.

A company taken over with the public's dollar going public.


Makes me want to break out in song. . .

My boomerang won't come back,
My boomerang won't come back,
I've waved the thing all over the place,
Practiced till I was black in the face,
I'm a big disgrace to the Aborigine race,
My boomerang won't come back.

Why do you think I posted it, Isitmeorarethingsnuts? They'd lost $8 BILLION the year before.
