Etc.

I am very pleased to know at least somebody is doing well in this economy.

Even if it is at the expense of somebody else:

A report by the Hay Group, a consulting firm, picked up by the Wall Street Journal, showed that CEO compensation in the US increased 2.8 percent last year to a median of $10.3 million. Total compensation for the 301 CEOs examined amounted to $3.9 billion and ranged from “only” $842,400 for Walter Robb of Whole Foods to $376.2 million for Tim Cook of Apple.

The other study, by the Associated Press (AP), came up with the smaller median of $9.6 million by excluding CEOs who had been employed for less than two years, most notably Cook, hired in the wake of Steve Jobs’ death.

In addition to vast quantities of stock and cash, many top executives are receiving perks worth millions. Louis D’Ambrosio, the CEO of Sears Holdings Corp., for example, received a jet allowance of $793,224 last year, so he could make the commute from his home in Philadelphia to Sears headquarters near Chicago. Les Moonves, CEO of CBS, received $69 million in compensation, including $500,000 to build a room for screening television shows and movies at his home, dubbed a “dedicated work area.”

Most likely Dana Chandler's sentencing will be delayed because she replaced her attorney with a public defender.

She's obviously hoping she will prevail on appeal. Delusional, delusional, delusional.
