Ultimately the new guys have more incentive to be naysayers and let their elders get kicked off the islan. . .errr. . . removed from the bonus pool, especially the two most junior guys. Their chance of getting fired is zero. Answer please.

Instead of Pass the Hot Potato, I'd call it Hide the Giant Greasy Sausage. :D

Back in the day (we're talkin' 40-50 years ago), a person with almost a high school education could get a job that a trained monkey could do. And that person would make enough money and benefits to have two kids and a stay-at-home wife, put braces on his kid's teeth, buy a brand new car every...

Liberty vs. Tyranny. Unfortunately the liberty group is so tiny it didn't even make your list. :(

Mr. Gross must be pretty new to the game. Anybody that was even a kid during the Jimmah Carter heydays knows all too well that rates can freaken soar and are always on the watch for 20 point CDs.

Spot on. Palestinians and fudge packers - both are trouble.

I suspect you may have gone and made the puzzle unsolvable. If we accept the premise that the newbie assigns any value whatsoever to any other executive getting the axe, then who's to say what that value is? It might be 300k. It might be a million. That's why I went with a dollar. The...

Interesting puzzle. Not sure I am happy with my answer, but here's what I have (so far): Assuming full "rationality" and the order is by seniority, the most senior guy keeps all but three bucks, offering a dollar each to the most junior guy, the guy two notches above him and the guy two more...

Baron doesn't cut paychecks, sadly. However, you can get big kickbacks from Big Oil, The Illuminati and a multitude of other secret shadow groups that are desperate to keep their secrets. They pay handsomely for various threads to be deleted, closed or moved, as well as for information on...

How many guys are holding her up, anyway?

Another great thing about FOX is how it put the whole "biased media" discussion to bed. PreFOX, most every libtard out there held the very strong opinion that the MSM was fair and balanced, even though any honest observer could see otherwise. They do not make that claim any more. :)

If everbody knows it's going up `til election day, won't that mean a serious tanking just prior to the election? How are they going to stop the mighty bull stampede when the bulls see all them bears ready to be let into the corral? And, can one take an analogy too far? ;)

49% view the IRS favorably? And half the country doesn't pay income tax. I wonder if there is a connection here. . . .

I'm sure it's on the up and up. For crying out loud, if you cannot trust the ChiComs, who can you trust? ;)

But it's not what we want, "we" meaning voters. For a generation, the voters have consistently voted for more government, more handouts, more spending and more debt. That's why both parties are about more government, because if one of them switched to smaller government then we'd be a one...

There's no way to tell when the bubble will burst and the music will stop. Might be today, might be two years from today. But one thing is certain, the music will stop and there will be a scamble for the chairs.

So we're agreed? Some people are just too damn stupid to make their own decisions and need government to make their decisions for them. Any other decisions we'd care to remove from the hands of people who directly benefit or suffer from them, like trans fats, smoking, fast food, moving too far...

He meant to say either conservative or republican, as in "I never thought of myself as a conservative." Neither did anybody else, for that matter.
