AP story in today's NYTimes about our beloved team's owner. I've been waiting for this and have feared much worse outcomes. I imagine he spends this much on a glass or two of fine brandy.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) -- A former Qwest Communications executive could be fined $4 million fine for accepting lucrative initial public offering shares in exchange for giving firms' investment banking business, a source familiar with the investigation said.

Chump change. If Bushie wanted to persecute him, he could have placed an independent counsel on his a$s.

$4 million is a drop in the bucket compared to what he probably made off of those IPO's.

ease off the political stuff. Besides, hillary got 300k for whitewater, Bush jr got 6 mil for cheating stockholders out of their life savings at Harken oil. Plus, he's a soccer hater. And I hear he farts. And doesn't buy American. And listens to the Dixie Chicks.

Fair enough, I hope you could tell the last part of that was pretty sarcastic. Of course he farts. :-)

The sad part was that he wasn't even talking about the right Hillary Clinton scandal.
Anyway - back to the article. Best part was that the $4M fine will be considered a charitable donation which he will likely use as a tax deduction.

There are perfectly valid reasons to dislike me other than my political leanings.
It is merely a bonus.
