Reporter fail.

Capping the pay of executives whose companies are taking government money…that’s one thing. Sure, it’s easy to get people behind that idea.

But watch as a poor schmuck reporter tries to ride that wave by playing gotcha with Jim Calhoun. He doesn’t make it very far.

I love it when members of the media pick up on what’s getting the proletariat all “riled up” and try to apply it to anything they can. It it smacks of something I can’t quite put my finger on. But I’m pretty sure it’s something that Bill Hicks used to expound upon.

What an ass.

Priorities.

Here’s a little snippet from last night’s Hardball (with guest host Mike Barnicle), where Jim Cramer gives his thoughts on the bank bailout. It’s basically a longer version of the now-famous Leo W. Girard quote:

Congress bails out those who shower before work, but not those that shower after work.

I myself often don’t fall into either of those two categories.

This TARP business is getting out of control. What a cluster.

What would you do for a buck?

Well, if you work as a CEO for a failing American Automobile company, you’d take it as your salary.  WOW, that’s AMAZING!!!  Bye bye private jets, hello accountability!  I am so proud of our Automaker CEOs for taking one for the little guy.  It’s about time!

Oh wait…   What?

oh… sorry, looks like there’s a catch…
