Bobs Eye View
Warning -
The top earning C.E.O. in the United States in 2007 was Larry J. Ellison of Oracle. Mr. Ellison was paid $182 million for one year's work (which included stock options).
Just as a little exercise, I decided to see how many shows I would need to do to make $182 million in one year. Let's see: 6 plus 2, carry the 4, divided by 2, minus the...and the total number of shows I would have to do to make $182 million is three hundred and seventy-two gazillion shows!
As reported on the Colbert Report the other night, Exxon/Mobil's last quarter profits translate to them making thirteen hundred dollars every second. One thousand, three hundred dollars each and every second!
Finally, and without comment, the price of a gallon of gas the day that George Bush became President was $1.40.
I have to go and take 182 antacids.
See you tomorrow.
This entry may make you sick to your stomach. Please have an antacid close at hand.
