Not *all* bald guys are evil

This is John Hamm, from the AMC series Mad Men. The idea behind the gag is good, but the skull cap could be better.

Obama blasts the big bonuses

It’s ridiculous that the President of the United States has to intervene directly with something like the AIG executive bonuses, but if he doesn’t do it, who will…?

D.F. Rogers has one of his typically funny comments — “If Obama went to Harvard Business School, instead of Harvard Law School, he’d understand why these bonuses are perfectly legitimate.”

Wall Street, the big bankers, and the rest of them, still just don’t get it. There may be plenty of free beer, fellas, but you can’t drink any more. The party’s over. You have to sober up and face reality.

Enough with the BS excuses that, “Hey, as a percentage it’s not that much money.” Obama is right to say, “This isn’t just a matter of dollars and cents. It’s about our fundamental values.”
