    20 bucks an hour, wow!Yesterday’s paper gave the Top Ten salaries in Houston led off by $23MM. Another poor guy had to make do with a 157% pay raise. And these are oil or oil service companies in a time when the energy sector is bleeding money. But I haven’t noticed such largesse going to their hourlies, rather layoffs have been the rule. Makes you wonder.

    Ain’t white-collar crime always presented as “more glamorous ’n glitzy” then its counterpart committed down in the trenches, where it stinks and there’s lots of dirt and constant shelling and the dead body or two that you have to hunker next to ’cause its cramped in there, and you have to eat your lunch in there while waiting for the next rounds of shelling, etc. etc? Stealing is stealing!
