I'd copy and paste the text, but I've already puked twice from reading it.

Click at your peril.

It's all true.

1. There is an update at the bottom

that says it sounded more like a "firing" but to pay that much out is a disgrace.

[WilliamPitt]

3. Just think of all the jobs he created!

Oh, sorry.

Wrong forum.

4. Somebody had to empty his trash can?

5. ...and carry his bags of cash to his car.

It's a living.

You know, or not.

6. I'll guess it's his "reward" for bringing about the merger

7. Tumbrels and guillotines come to mind

after reading this. So does selling this shitheel's family into slavery in Dubai.

8. Great!

I'll apply for his job. If I get fired before lunch do I get $22 million?

9. Figures

We live in Charlotte, I can walk down the street and see the Duke Energy building.

In May 2011, we averaged 31 KWH per day, and our total bill was $92. I made some changes to improve our energy use and this May, we only averaged 24 KWH per day (roughly 22% less).

So, what was our power bill for May 2012? It only went down to $87, which is roughly a 5% savings.

Oh I get it now! They raised the rates BECAUSE of those pesky energy efficiency measures... they have to pay enough to attract such talented executives, after all.
