McCain meets with business executives to discuss the bailout package and stands firm on no “golden parachutes’ for the CEOs of the failed companies.

That’s fine for McCain to stand his ground. I respect him for that. But I don’t think it goes far enough. What I’d like to see, and I think I speak for the majority of Americans when I say this, is for those CEOs to be paraded to the National Mall, stripped naked, tarred and feathered and be pelted with rotten fruit and vegetables until they’re buried. Then they’re dug out of the pile of stinking vegetation, loaded into a van and driven to every major city in the country so they can be pelted again and again.

I bet the crowds would be huge. They could charge a buck to get in and there wouldn’t be any need for a taxpayer bailout.

I Will Fear No Evil I Will Fear No Evil by Robert A. Heinlein


My review


rating: 1 of 5 stars
I’ve tried reading this one three times. I got almost within a hundred pages of the end this last time and I could see the ending coming a mile away. Given how utterly annoying the characters are, life is too short to finish it.

Heinlein is a master at blowing your mind with great ideas, but even masters of their craft have turkeys.
