Just so you all know I'm still reading LJ I'm just be really, really bad about posting. Sorry! Between dance, the cats, and my current firm determination to start exercising and lose some goddamn weight time has been rather tight these days. But because I am a Gemini and we must communicate or die I must share this with you:

My new favorite webcomic - Axe Cop


Written by a 5 year old and illustrated by his 29 year old brother. Suffice to say he rides a flying dinosaur with machine gun arms, fights zombies and goes into battle with the cry, "I'll chop your head off!"

Check it out, you won't be disappointed!

Ok, I lied I have to share this before my head explodes:

The employees said that the corporate leaders who had driven the firm into the ground were already gone from the company. Those who had remained behind to help clean up the mess and repay the taxpayer bailout were due their compensation, they told Pasciucco.

“You made a commitment to us, and we made a commitment to you. And for anybody to look beyond that, as the politics and the media are at the moment, is missing the point,” said an employee. “You can’t expect us to just roll over and ignore that commitment because there is a bunch of immoral bigots that intend us to do something different. It’s not going to happen.”

Another was even more irate, lashing out at the public for scapegoating AIG employees. “To be honest with you, I really hope it blows up. I think the U.S. taxpayer deserves to lose a trillion dollars over this thing for the way they have behaved.”

And then he turned on politicians who had joined the anti-AIG posse. “They only care about the next election, just like we only care about the next bonus. Well, none of them cares about the country, none of us cares about the institution,” he said, adding: “They really don’t care, and I really don’t care. And frankly, if a trillion dollars gets lost, fine.”

The AIG retention bonuses have rankled many in the public because the company has received a federal rescue package of about $180 billion in loans, stock investments and other commitments from the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department. Closing down AIG Financial Products’ trading portfolio has been vital to stemming further losses and repaying the public money.

Talk amongst yourselves...

Ok, one last thing, has anybody else seen the commercial for the new Clash of the Titans flick? Is it just me or does the kracken kind of look like a tentacled up Rancor?

Also, Qui-Gon Jin is Zeus?

I...

Huh.
