Michigan Messenger » Dow-sponsored Walleye Fest to donate contaminated fish to the poor.

This appears to be a way to replace the superfund.   Let wildlife soak up the toxins your company put into the environment, hold a public relations fishing derby, and donate the contaminated fish to the poor. 

Possibly shortening their lifespans, thus reducing their requirement for Medicare and Medicaid.

Yes, yes…I’m extrapolatng quite a bit at the end there.

FT.com / Companies / Financials – Stimulus bill extends cap on bank bonuses.

Apparently, bankers want to have bailout money without strings attached.  The following line is amusing:

Bankers argued that the amendment, introduced by Chris Dodd, a Democratic senator from Connecticut, would cause a brain drain from the industry and could have the counterproductive effect of raising cash salaries.

Earth to bankers, where are you going to go?  You helped make this mess.

Do you think that having Lehman Brothers on your resume is a selling point?

Republican Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota) claims that

“[Pelosi] is committed to her global warming fanaticism to the point where she has said that she’s just trying to save the planet. We all know that someone did that over 2,000 years ago, they saved the planet — we didn’t need Nancy Pelosi to do that”

Who saved the planet 2000 years ago?  Cosidering the history of the last 2000 years, why did this person do such a crappy job of it?
