I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

That's nothin. Some hedge fund managers were taking home over a billion a year in total compensation.
Isn't Blackstone the mercenary fighters in Iraq? The so-called "security" group? We have spent over $600 billion on the war, I figure someone is making some money somewhere.
EDIT - Oops, my mistake. They are a private equity group. They made about $168M a quarter last year. If the main guy dropped his compensation back into the company, they would increase profits by 50%.

Yup. Blackstone, IIRC, is the private contractor that gets used for a lot of the less "elegant" jobs that need to get done. I'd imagine there is more than security going on for what they get paid, but what do I know.

Dude, it is the interwebs. Of course I thought you was talking out of your ass.It is nice to see that Mr. John Paulson made so much money on everyone elses pain. Of course, it is the NYT. You can't trust those liberal media elite. They went to good schools.

Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.
Shorting stocks should be a crime. We need new rules to stop these guys from killing otherwise good investments.
