In the news today: God sues idiot claiming to speak for him on subject of rape

Seriously, with utterly clueless morons like Richard Mourdock winning GOP primaries and then making statements this repulsive, it's almost as if Teabagger Republicans want to lose every single election they run for.

Meanwhile - to no one's surprise - Donald Trump continues to be a grandstanding asshat and Governor Quitter continues her downward spiral towards ending up as a future guest on some Klan web site's podcast.

"Go on, take the money and run..."

I admit that I've had my issues with Citigroup/Citibank in the past, which is why the following piece of schadenfreude is just such a delight to read:

Citigroup’s Chief Executive Officer, Vikram Pandit, was apparently pushed out by that company’s board of directors after five years in that position. And Bloomberg reports that during that time, Pandit earned $261 million while the company, the third largest American bank, lost 90% of its stock value.

In other words, Citigroup just paid a major reason for their abject failure over $250 million dollars to continue to be a reason for their abject failure for the years he was in charge. Classic. Just classic.
