There's enough stuff in there to keep a blogger in posts for a few days. But I'm beginning to wonder if all these "greed beyind the dreams of avarice" pay-outs is turning into a ho-hum "dog bites man story".

I may have to give up on the satire stuff. The industry keeps doing things you just can't make up...; 3/16/2007
