In an interview with the Wall Street Journal published Tuesday, Benmosche dismissed the criticism of bonuses saying the uproar "was intended to stir public anger, to get everybody out there with their pitch forks and their hangman nooses, and all that - sort of like what we did in the Deep South [decades ago]. And I think it was just as bad and just as wrong." http://money.cnn.com...onuses/index.html

Well, he's on a roll.. vulture-Capitalism is surely the root of all evil, too. Things equal to the same thing..

Fortunately the house stands; 'course--that only works quite-locally.)

If you define it as "Optimum is when Conrad has most of the money", then you're defining it right; otherwise, you're not. -- Christian R.
