Well, most people have stuck on a political cartoon or two while it was their turn blogging, so I may as well continue the trend with this short post. Commentary/Analysis, anyone?

ahah i like the one in the middle and the first one. They are cute except its all easy to understand that the AIG business is burning money literally in the cartoon but although that is metaphorically speaking its probably already happened with how much money they obtained. The second one is cute too because its like so bizzare what AIG did that even aliens are like what the f**k.
I know I won't get any points for this post: but those cartoons are really well done. The animations make it even more witty, in my opinion.
I believe the alien cartoon is represents the situation well. While "the middle class" in America will gape at 165 million dollar bonuses, the most wealthy people, like CEOs and such, probably see the amount of money in a different perspective. To them, 165 million dollars isn't as much money as we perceive it to be, which really is crazy, but is the truth. This shows that the gap between the rich and poor is huge and that people from different classes are truly from different worlds--or planets, like the cartoon shows.
