AIG is the Next to Blow!

With the fall of Lehman and the recent acquisition of Merrill Lynch it now looks like another firm in the financial services industry is about to go under.

Word on the street was that AIG had about 48 - 72 hours to live if it couldn't raise a few billion dollars within this time frame. Well, they were downgraded and have to raise about $75 billion to survive.

The world is dying . . .

"Damn, I told you we should have cashed that damn check!"

Obama Disses Clarence Thomas During Interview

Here is what Obama had to say in a recent interview with Rick Warren when asked what Supreme Court Justice he would not have nominated:

Barack Obabma: "I would not have nominated Clarence Thomas. I don't think that he, I don't think that he was a strong enough jurist or legal thinker at the time for that elevation. Setting aside the fact that I profoundly disagree with his interpretation of a lot of the Constitution."

Here's the clip:

Damn Barack, that was just plain cold!

O-Mazing Grace!

Happy Sunday, folks! And an equally early Merry Christmas!



Hey, he has a lot more courage than me.

Citi Executive Gets $28 Million Not to Work!

WTF?

You read it right. A top executive at Citi has reported been paid $28,000,000 not to work for competitor firm for the next fifteen months after he resigned from the global bank. Let's also not forget to mention that the executive is the head of the Chairman of the investment banking unit at City--the very unit that is causing the company to experience these problems.

Citi has been a lot of trouble lately as it has seen a 36% decrease in its stock this year, massive lay-offs and billions of dollars in write-downs just to name a few. Now, I wonder how in the hell can they afford to pay an ex-employee almost $30 million not to work for any other firm!

Damn, I hope I grow up to become as valuable as this employee. Imagine quiting your job and your company paying you just so you don't go to work for someone else!

My First Post: Child Rapists and the Supreme Court

So, I come home from a long day of work, followed by a few drinks at the South Street Seaport. I unbutton my dress shirt, step out my trousers and put some left-over hot wings into the microwave. While changing into my “around the house” clothes, I put CNN and I hear that the Supreme Court has ruled that the death penalty cannot be sought in any child rape case. To me this is pure B.S.

I firmly believe that these people should be executed. They have a condition that puts the public at risk. Even if they are incarcerated, empirical evidence states that these people have a high chance of committing these types of crimes again. Even though these people have to register as known sex offenders, there is nothing that can stop them from traveling to another town, city or county and find another victim. The other alternative would be to lock them up for the rest of their natural lives and let them live a living a hell behind bars as they are tormented by other inmates for their dastardly crime. However, this is a very expensive route and I feel that the best way to alleviate the problem would be to exterminate the criminal if this would justify the crime. Deciding if the crime is worthy of being punishable by death would be up to a jury in a court of law.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying that all child rapists should be put to death. Some of these people are sick and some are curable. If this is the case, then they should be treated so they could continue to lead normal lives—everyone deserves this change if it is possible. But, for the people that are a real threat (i.e. repeat and violent offenders) I feel that the prosecution has the right to seek the death penalty if they see fit. I feel that the Supreme Court was wrong in it’s decision to bar the death penalty from child rape cases. To me, this sends the wrong message to child rapists and would be child rapists. By the Supreme Court saying you cannot get the death penalty for raping and helpless and defenseless child, that it’s not really that bad of a crime.

I think that if a child rapist new he or she would be put to death for the crime they were about to commit they would think twice about it. There is a concept of deterrence in the American Justice System. This whole concept is based on the belief that crimes will be prevented if the would be criminal is deterred from committing the crime out of fear of the penalty. Yeah, crimes do happen; but, think what would happen if the penalties for certain crimes were made less harsh. (i.e. murder would be punishable two years community service). I believe that criminals are more fearful of death than spending time behind bars. The Supreme Court really made a bad ruling on this one.

At least this is how I feel about the situation.
