Stuff 2 Read

A Disney stockholders suit against Michael Eisner is coming to trial. Here's an article about it.

The most interesting item to me is where it says, "[Michael Ovitz] charged the company as much as $125 a person for food served at executive meetings at his house, an amount later reduced to $15 as he neared the end of his tenure." What did he serve that cost $125 a plate, what did he serve that was $15, what did people say who'd eaten there under both budgets...and what do you want to bet that most of us would have preferred the cheaper meal?

Sunday Evening

Posting may be kind of light here the next few days. I have an important deadline and a bad wrist. After years of ache-free computering, I finally developed a pain in my Carpals (or thereabout) from moving the mouse around. Rest, warm compresses and an Ace wrist band have lessened the hurt...but I've fallen behind on things that need to be done, plus I'm working at about half-speed. So while I'll still be putting stuff up here, it'll mostly be links and they may be fewer and farther-between than usual.

Do not delete me from your bookmarks. I'll be myself again before the week is out.

The Tampa Tribune is a right-wing newspaper that, with one exception, has endorsed every Republican presidential nominee since Eisenhower. The one exception was Barry Goldwater and that year, they decided both candidates were unacceptable and endorsed no one. This year, they've come to the same decision.

I just changed the link to the Ron Suskind article in the previous posting. Same article, different link, no New York Times subscription necessary. In fact, here's the link again.
