OK, now this is real important. I mean, I had a hard time when they replaced Curley with Joe Morita. But Jim Carrey? Benicio del Toro with a Brooklyn accent? Sean Penn with a wig? Is nothing sacred? Will it help to write my congressman?

$25 Billion seems like chump change these days, compared to other bailouts. From the $350 billion that was thrown away by the Bu$h administration in 2008 with little or no oversight to the big AIG bucks that are getting at least a second thought. Are these the quakes and sunamis that occur where the globalization and protectionism tektonic plates meet? Not to mention the fault line where the “free market” meets good ‘ol boy backroom biz as usual. Should governments have regulations in place before the treasury gets tapped, or does it just depend on who is or isn’t subject to regulation? Someone who has fallen off the employment and then unemployment rolls for more than the alloted grace period is not permitted an extension, even if still unemployed. AIG gets rewarded for avarice and stupidity long after the fact. Its easier for regulators to just say no to individual workers than influential corporate entities. Perhaps Congress should (with a nod to the Ford CEO) forgo upper middle class salaries for minimum wages until they are able to join with the rank&file on this one.
