WASHINGTON (AP)- Secretary of the Treasury, Henry M. Paulson, Jr., when asked today about the former CEO of Lehman Brother, Richard S. Fuld, telling Congress he had averaged taking home $28 million a year said, "Mr. Fuld had a very stressful job and there are corporate executives making more than Mr. Fuld." End
I was really encouraged when the new Oversight Committee said that AIG spending $440,000 on a posh party at a California retreat for its executives after being baled out was understandable considering the stressful times. I guess that might seem cruel to some since AIG was bailed out by people worried about losing their jobs and homes. But since I get a message every week at the golf club, take cruses around the world twice a year, and haven't had a fulltime job since I was 38, and I'm now 68, I can't criticize others since it would be hypocritical and people would think I was a Christians.
I'll bet Bush, Paulson, Pelosi, Bernanke and Dobbs are really stressed out about the following news:
LOS ANGELES - Mental health counselors were on the alert Tuesday for calls from people depressed or possibly suicidal about money woes, after an unemployed financial manager killed five family members and himself.

PLEASE, pretty please, if you desire to tell me to go to hell, do it in the comment section, Christians. Do not send me personal emails. I will just post your emails online anyway. So show a bit of courage. After all, you have your God and your Jesus to protect you. I'm all alone. One 68 year old guy who no one would give damn should you or your God kill...
Dear Bob Miller: You know what? GOD is not responsible for what is happening with our economy. You need to stop blaming Him. Sinful, stupid, greedy, selfish PEOPLE are responsible for what is going on. Genny8677
Answer: Thanks, Genny8677: I didn't know that was how it worked. So God gets the credit when things go right and people get the blame when things go wrong. That's interesting, very interesting, talk about a guy with a win, win position. Sounds like George Exxon Bush's job for the first six years.
Who do we blame for the million plus people that Christians have needlessly murdered in Iraq, the Christian soldiers or this Christian God who demands an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth? Can we be fair and blame both? Or was that Bill Clinton's fault as well?
What about this savior of yours who said: "Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law."
If one of you Christians, as you often do, molest and murder a child, do we blame this guy who comes as a sword or Bill Clinton? You can't blame Saddam, you people hung him for murdering Iraqis then you murdered 100 times more Iraqis than he had.
Just trying to wade through all the hypocrisy and get the Christian system down. I guess this guy didn't understand your system either.
"Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined and imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch towards uniformity." -Thomas Jefferson, Notes on Virginia, 1782
