I agree with you about that kind of thing, but shareholders provide incentives to management just by selling the stock if the long-term prospects aren't good.

I'm sure both of you would enjoy it. If you load up on the boxed wine it'll give you an advantage, I'm sure.

Clearly the unions' fault. They've even brainwashed Christie, apparently.

I believe Hank's pie chart because it has the illusion of 3 dimensions.

Odd how that doesn't work for Hank.

If you google, you'll discover this does come from a survey the Canadians did at the Detroit/Windsor border crossing.

Yellow = Michiganders going to Canada for the beer
Blue = Michiganders going to Canada for the strippers
Green = Michiganders going to Canada for the beer and strippers
Red = Other reasons for going to Canada
