I'm going to mail the CEO of both of these shit-eating, capitalist-pig outfits and demand to know exactly what information of mine they're feeding to the fascist bush administration!!!
The CEO OF AT&T: Edward E. Whiteacre, Jr.
CEO and Chairman of Verizon: Ivan Seidenberg
I emailed Verizon, at least I could do it at THEIR website, I used the email page at "corporate reponsibility" (the shits!)
AT&T is COMPLETELY incommunicado on the net!
Some more I found:
"Exorbitant executive compensation is widespread in corporate America, but telecom executives as a group are the worst offenders
"Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg's total pay has grown 45% in the last five years while his company's stock lost about a third of its value. Last year, his total pay went up 48% while the stock fell 26%."
"When AT&T uses other companies as guides for its own executive compensation, it adjusts for firms of varying size but not varying performance levels. It's therefore possible for CEO Ed Whitacre to be paid more if those other companies execute well. AT&T says it is bound to a five-year contract that Whitacre signed with SBC Communications in 2001, when competition for experienced telecom executives mushroomed."

Actually, that's a slam at pigs who are rather intelligent, charming members of the animal kingdom. These bastards are pond scum... Actually, that's a slam at pond scum which at least nourishes a lot of other animals.
I guess people are the worst of the animal kingdom and the rest of the animals have no parallel to the worst examples of "people".
