1. Repeat Super Bowl Championship for the New Orleans Saints. 2. Tie Ken Feinberg to the left upright of the goalpost and Bob Dudley to the right so even if Garret Hartley bounces one during said Super Bowl, I still get a sense of satisfaction. 3. Bobby Jindal marooned, stranded on one of his sand berms with David Vitter, the Skipper and Gilligan. 4. Save … Continue reading Christmas List…
Hello again. Yes, I still kill people for a living. But this doesn’t mean I can’t be imbued with the holiday spirit, I am…in my own way.

Last night, I drove round my city, going to hospitals, talking to people who were thinking about suicide or who had just tried it. I spoke on the phone to people who had attempted the day before or who couldn’t remember anything they did last week. I spoke in the jargon of mental health symptoms…ideas of reference, lack of appetite, flattened affect, abnormal sleep patterns, … Continue reading For today…60 minutes…

All affected by the BP Oil Spill Catastraphuk have a quickly approaching deadline to face. Tomorrow, November 24th is the last day to file for emergency payments from British Petroleum’s $20 billion dollar escrow. Beginning Thursday the choices they face become much more difficult and the rhetoric from the “neutral” arbitrator, Ken Feinberg appears designed to increase the pressure in an already pressurized situation. Originally, … Continue reading Ken Feinberg Playing Financial and Emotional Hardball
