The latest example of corporate clulessness has apparently been averted: Citigroup has decided against spending $50 million on a new corporate jet after some folks pointed out that didn't look too cool for a firm that just received $45 BILLION in government bailout funds.
Hey Citi jackasses - fly coach and get over it. Sacrifices have to be made.
And what is also not mentioned is that the jet is made by a French company (though at least the interior is customized in Little Rock, Ark.)

Vive Le France!
From our main man Alan Mutter: France's plan to bail out newspapers, and why it won't happen here.
And while I love the idea of saving our jobs, the bottom line is that the "good angel" just went "poof!" on my shoulder to point out to my principled side that government aid to newspapers is a bad idea, for obvious reasons. ("How come you spiked that story on the conditions for veterans at that Walter Reed site?" "Ohhh, nothing . . . no reason. . . ")
Sigh. . . .
