Yep, this was supper a couple nights ago. Apparently, hot dogs are quite stackable. Who knew?

I’ll probably write more in depth about this later next week, but I saw this article on the Fox News site and it struck me that it might be better to give than receive, but sometimes it really is hard to JUST receive.  Grace is unmerited, unearned, and, at times, very hard to accept.  Hopefully I’m a better recipient than these folks, because God is all about giving us grace.

FOXNews.com – Banker Buys $37 Million Apartment After Getting $25 Million Buyout — for Doing Virtually Nothing

So the latest punching bag in the mess that is American economics is 55 year-old Peter Kraus.  He got an executive job at Merrill Lynch right before they got bought out and, after working the position for a matter of days, he got a 25 million dollar buyout.

Of course, everyone’s upset because he got such a big buyout when the company had just gotten a bigger bailout and that he used it to buy something so lavish when so many were losing their jobs and life savings.  I don’t necessarily disagree with that, but I think more people are just upset because they didn’t get paid 25 mil for a week of work, too.

What caught my attention is the fact that he had 25 million dollars cash and still chose to finance 12 million for the apartment.  Stupid.  Typical, stupid American excess.
