In regards to this ThinkProgress post on President Obama's $500,000 cap for CEOs who "borrow" government money (aka TARP, aka bailout):

HAH! I posted the same thing last night, only I concluded that the stock options couldn’t be cashed until the government had been repaid with interest.

Damn right. I'm thinking at least 15% interest. And if the payments are late, the interest is jacked up to 25%.

Personally, I think that all bonus should be delayed for at least three years. Put them in some sort of escrow account and let them sit in order to determine whether or not the bonus is based on actual progress or just paper progress. Apply this rule to all management bonuses; do not apply this rule to production people, who get bonuses (if they are lucky) for actual, clearly defined, and generally unfudgable, labor.
This might not eliminate the fly-by-night nature of many of the recent "performance" bonuses, but it'll make it harder to do the paperwork to get them.

Sandrine Holt - Age: 36, Height: 5'10", Relevant Movie/TV Roles: Resident Evil: Apocalypse & Mutant X Pros : She's played both a (doomed) reporter and a person with superpowers, so if she can play both, she's a shoe-in. Plus she's probably the least-known actress on this list, so they can two movies out of her cheap. Cons : While D.C. isn't as star-crazy as Marvel when it co

Being the avid movie watcher that I am, I've noticed that more than one talented actress has been passed over for other talent. And by "talent," I mean, "sex tapes that 'accidentally' made it to the Internet." Well, here's one man's humble attempt to rectify the situation. The following ladies are not only talented, but beautiful. Hollywood: get off your ass and give these women more roles. DANIELLE FISHEL Noticeable TV/Movie Appearances: Boy Meets World; both National Lampoon's Dorm Dazes The delightful Ms. Fishel has the distinction of having the weirdest named ever associated with a smart-yet-hot character (or maybe I'm the only one who has a problem saying "Topanga!" whilst in the throes of passion) as well as participating in the death of the National Lampoon Series (I personally thought it died with Chevy Chase's career; who knew?). If you were to use her IMBD page as a reference, the only real fault people seem to hav
