AIG Adopts Policy on Climate Change

And we all know how good AIG is at making economic decisions. g


So because they made bad decisions in one segment of their business,
that's
supposed to mean that they're incompetent in others?

Pop quiz: In the past 20 years, who made more money, AIG or Dave and
Karen?


If AIG had actually made money, it wouldn't have needed bailing out by
the Federal Gummit. Here's someone else who actually did make a bundle:
Bernie Madoff. Yup, he made so much more money than me that we're not
even in the same financial galaxy. On the other hand, I can look at
myself in the mirror, even if I end up asking people if they want to
supersize their order.



You must know Joe of "Red Cloud" infamy?

He's a fry cook at Mickey D's. Had to go begging for his job back after
his coffee import trip sunk after he prematurely abandoned ship.

Now he has dreams of supersizing a boat to carry and sink an entire
container of coffee.

Too bad he doesn't work on his paucity of sailing know-how instead.
