Let the Angry Mobs Arise! (Sharpen Your Pitchforks and Your Wit!)

"Irony is the bringing together of contradictory truths to make out of the contradiction a new truth with a laugh or a smile. I confess that a truth must come with one or the other or I count it as false and deny it the very nature of humanity itself." - Anne Hathaway, Becoming Jane
With that in mind, I present the following Comedy Central videos on AIG. You should also visit Citizen B's blog to join the debate on whether or not the government should tax the bonuses back.

Since the space node 3 naming contest has closed, I propose a new contest to rename AIG. As everyone now despises the company and all it stands for, it will now have to enter the Witless Protection Program in order to attract future business (in addition to possibly approaching congress for additional bailout funds as the first billion or so may not be quite enough). Feel free to submit your name suggestions in the comments below. If I get any, I'll create a poll of them.
