Gentleman, Choose Your Weapons...

Pretty much every one's still in disbelief at AIG using their bailout money to give bonuses to "retain" people on staff; despite the fact that hundreds of incredibly brilliant bankers, traders and analysts have been getting laid off ALL over Wall Street. AIG felt it necessary to "reward" their barely competent staff and give them bonuses of up to $100,000 because, you know, they've done such a great job!

This such a ludicrous use of funds, but AIG CEO Edward Liddy seems to be orbiting on his own planet, why else would he think it a good idea dish out tax payer money in such an irresponsible and inappropriate fashion. Nearly every one's got ideas about what should happen to AIG, Liddy and the mysterious recipients of our money, but my favorite call-to-action thus far has got to be these words of wisdom from Iowa Senator-R, Chuck Grassley:

"I would suggest the first thing that would make me feel a little bit better toward them if they'd follow the Japanese example and come before the American people and take that deep bow and say, I'm sorry, and then either do one of two things: resign or go commit suicide.And in the case of the Japanese, they usually commit suicide before they make any apology."

Thank you Senator, while many have criticized you for your harsh words, I think America could use some good, old fashioned humility.
