Feinberg to Formally Approve AIG CEO Pay Next Week (Reuters)
Benmosche (still on vacation?) will likely get the green light for his $7 million a year salary. Meanwhile, the Compensation Cop has not yet been convinced that Andy Hall, pouting in his German castle, “really wants this.”

US Court Rejects TurboTax Defense (Bloomberg)
Good enough for Tim Geithner apparently does not fly for a couple of bros in Ohio: “Petitioners were not permitted to bury their heads in the sand and ignore their obligation to ensure that their tax return accurately reflected their income,” the court said in an opinion issued yesterday. “In the end, reliance on tax return preparation software does not excuse petitioners’ failure to review their 2006 tax return.”
Treasury warns regulator off financial tax talk (Reuters)
The Treasury warned the chief financial regulator on Thursday to stay out of taxation policy after he said he would support higher taxes on the financial services industry.
A Treasury spokesman said taxation was “a matter for the Chancellor (finance minister)” after Adair Turner, chairman of the Financial Services Authority, said he would back “special taxes” on banks to rein in their activity.

And Sir Stan is not happy about it, though really the only recourse he has is to bitch and moan like an impotent prick via his lawyer.

God Bless America and Turbo Tax.
Why is there still coverage of TK on the other media outlets? The guy died yesterday for fucks sake. Today is a new day filled with new possibilities.
“Steve Schwarzman’s unit grew 25 percent”
Same thing happend to my unit when I saw AD this morning.
@2 why are you bitching about the coverage of TK by other media outlets on DB?
Suck it, OH-IO!
“Hedgie Paulson Mad About Citi’
This will end in tears…
@6 care to expound on that point? or just putting in your submission for gayest comment of the day?
@7 6 is the kind of commenter who really doesn’t know what he’s talking about but vaguley knows citi = bad. the kind of commenter who simply writes, “we are so fucked.”
hell yes!
@9 “Do retards work over there?”
do you really not know the answer to that?
Note to self,
If you find out your tax return was bad, apply for office with BHO and THEN blame Turbo Tax.
@3 – only 25%? who are you, Bernie Madoff?
@ who you callin a fuckin retard?
@2 one day is absolutely not enough coverage. granted TK did not have as big effect on this country as MJ, but MJ got a month and a half coverage solid, we owe him at least a week of dragging out his death and covering every miniscule detail. Hell we’ve only had a day to put together news specials about his life and his family. I hope there’s at least 3 days of coverage speculating about where he’ll be buried. These are the topics that really matter in today’s world.
Huh?..I’m sure he had something important to say but my mind kept going blank every time they showed AD’s rack
Bigger baller: Fred or Ben Savage?
I want to play walrus between Drurys’ leggs
@17 I would say Ben Savage; he got to stare at Topanga’s massive rack every day during Boy Meets World.
Plus I have a story of Fred Savage being absolutely destroyed in a class at Stanford.
Guys, has anyone seen my pomade this morning? I’m running late and really need it!
Thanks,
Chris Theoharris
@14 you
@19
You make a strong argument. (I heard Topanga is/was a huge slut in real life, too.) Feel free to share the FS story.

I went to college with a girl who dated Ben Savage senior year (years ago). He’d show up at parties every now and then and the Topenga & Mr. Feeny shots were anything but scarce. He actually took it in stride pretty well…..girl was a tramp though ha. Fred FTW.
@15 totally agree. can we start with a deep dive into chappaquiddick and how a murderer only spent 2 months in jail, remained a senator and was lauded as a hero buy his political party?
@22 Here goes:
I guess Fred was taking some lit class at Stanford with like 150 people in it where he was always such a cocky asshole and got on everyones nerves. Anywho, I guess this professor was making a point about what the author was trying to infer in the text. Big bad Freddy raised his hand and gave some way off base diatribe about how the professor was wrong; the professor took offense and destroyed Freddy; like “ripped him a new asshole” level destruction. The whole room is silent and then some joker said in his best Daniel Stern voice “I then realized what a total asshole I looked like in front of my entire college literature class”. Everyone, including the professor is dying laughing and the prick storms out of the room.
@22, 23 here.
I retract my previous Fred statement. At least Benny was out getting laid.
Ben Savage stories FTW!
Nice! It would’ve been awesome if, as he stormed out of class, he shouted, “I was in The Wizard, goddamn it! I don’t have to take this!”
-17/22
@28 Thats awesome or how about “I shot a movie with Howie Mandell this is horseshit!”
Neither Fred nor Ben hold a candle to Randy.
Naked, you are good. Do you this for a living?
NS’s full time job for at least the last few weeks has been in high-fashion design, with some moonlighting in marketing.
His work will be on runways all over ManHandbridgeAttan next Fashion Week.
Call me crazy, but it looks like Druries are running wild today.
I have been totallllly freeeeeakkkking out about Fashion Week. You have no idea how hard it is to find models that exude the esprit de corps necessary to wear the Handbridge collection.
The Fred Savage stories are great; I havent even tapped in to the Julia Stiles vault yet.
“I have been totallllly freeeeeakkkking out about Fashion Week.”
You and me both, honey!

Drury looks like a slowly developing train wreck.
JP will be sorry, Indians are good at being told what to do, i.e. write code bitch…but running a bank, meh!
“…are good at being told what to do…”
@37 you obviously haven’t experienced the passive agressive push-back that results in nothing being done right.
@7/8
Vikram or e.e. cummings?
