Admittedly, I'm a bit tongue-in-cheek on this one, but you just have to admire a guy who is so dedicated to his cause that he flies to North Korea and talks to the world's looniest, daffiest psychotic despot all for the sake of hooking up with two young oriental girls.
Bill... you left a lot to be desired where running the country was concerned, but we have to admit you have STILL GOT IT!
And seeing Hillary with egg foo young on her face is just icing on the double fudge ripple cake for us.

Time for Americans to start tearing at each other again... another bonus in the news....
The New York Times, ripe with the summer doldrums because the only thing left to report about in the country is the excesses and abuses of president hussein, have decided to go back to the well and start a good old fashioned feeding frenzy again.
In this piece found linked to Yahoo!.com the author points out that Andrew J. Hall is getting a $100 million dollar bonus. Now they could have been crass and written it out like so: $100,000,000.00 but for some strange reason they showed restraint.
The cons: He is getting this bonus from Citigroup whom he sub-contracts for, and they took $45 Billion in our money to stay afloat.
The pros: He was contractually liable for a fee relative to what he made for Citigroup, apparently a common practice, and he made Citigroup a meager $2,000,000,000.00 in profit. That's $2 Billion for those of you in the know. So his bonus is 1/20th or rather 5% of the total he made for Citigroup.
Now he's under pressure to not take the money, amid speculation that some of his dealings may (note: they do not say he DID...) have contributed to the financial troubles are country has seen. The article takes pains to say that while he's a nice guy for his sort he's also an example of "capitalism at its most unbridled" all the while acknowledging that it was his own efforts that helped contribute to the financial strength of Citigroup.
Apparently now Mr. Hall is seeking to separate himself from Citigroup, and hopefully he will take his talents to some other country and make some other business in some other part of the world significantly wealthier....
That'll show him!
Christ almighty, there are some really retarded people in positions of power in the US Government right now.
Among other things, if the terms of the contract Mr. Hall had with Citigroup were to be altered, Citigroup and the US Government had an obligation to tell him so BEFORE he made them all that money (Isn't Hall a taxpayer? What about Citigroup, don't they pay taxes?).
And then on top of that, if employees are agoing to get sacked for making their companies profitable, isn't that just plain un-American?
I could go on, but you get the idea.
