From what I heard the contracts locked in the bonuses at what they got for 2007–so even if any targets got missed (how could they not?) they were getting the money anyway. Kind of defeats the whole point of a “bonus”–now it’s just additional salary under a different name, which happens to be guaranteed to tick everyone else off.
In any case, it was a stupid contract to agree to.
Ah, yet another straw man has been erected. I agree with bcs, dhz, and Dale; I see nothing wrong wit hgetting out of that bubble & maintaining some kind of connection with the rest of the country (what a concept). DOn’t carea bit about the basketball, but it give him a break from dealing with the problems all the time–you all need a little break now and then, don’t you?
Very good cartoon. Though it seems some of us do get the reference, I have to say Mach is probably right in that most won’t have watched the old classic and will not get the toon.
cdward, agreed. Talk about reaching, gotta grab any little thing to criticize. To me this whole thing says more about the critics. From what I’ve been reading, those who have the most reason to take offense seem more amused and have thrown back zingers of their own. If they seem satisfied, then it’s time to drop it.
senorbullwinklePro says: GUN CONTROL is off the table. the SUPREME COURT has said, everyone has the right to own a gun.
Not to disagree, but I thought the Constitution said so, you know, the 2nd amendment? ;)
