"Liam Neeson, his sons, and the entire family are shocked and devastated by the tragic death of their beloved Natasha. They are profoundly grateful for the support, love and prayers of everyone, and ask for privacy during this very difficult time."
Richardson died of an apparent head injury from a skiing accident.
Our sympathy to the family. That said, the following is off topic from an earlier thread about the Rocky Mt. News. My question for ASSpat is this: How do you feel about the contracts for bonuses for the AIG folks?

This is why newspapers are failing: Gannett CEO Craig Dubow was paid $3.1 million for 2008 and awarded $875K in a bonus, despite a 79% stock plunge and huge layoffs for thousands and mandatory unpaid furloughs for everyone who's left.

Anon, did you ever stop and consider that his bonus was in his employment contract? And perhaps the bonus wasn't tied to the performance of Gannett stock?
If contracts are suddenly worthless, what's next? The Constitution? The Bill of Rights?
That's the problem. Socialism and free markets don't mix.
Anon 8:43, Like everyone, I'm not too crazy about these bonuses, but, having said that, let me also say I was very opposed to the bailout to begin with.
The bigger question is why did Chris Dodd amend the legislation allowing those bonuses to be paid? He's admitted, finally that he did that.
As a result of these being paid, we now have a Democrat Congress passing unconstitutional legislation taxing those specific bonuses at 90%.
Seems to me that this was all orchestrated by the White House, Treasury and Dems on Capitol Hill to open the door to even more government control.
Whether you guys like it or not, these bonuses being paid are of Obama's doing. The days of always blaming Bush are over.
Actually, Bush did very little, himself, to lead this country during his eight years...which is no small reason why Obama inherited such a mess to start with. (It's the countless assholes Bush installed into positions of power who REALLY screwed our national pooch, AssPat. There may be decades, or lifetimes, of blame yet to come for those folks.)
Oh, Christ on a crutch, I didn't know Bush had a damn thing to do with Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Nor did I realize Bush demanded that lower income people be GIVEN mortgages they couldn't afford.
Wake up you spoon fed asshole. It is DEMOCRATS and their goddamned Robin Hood policies that have led to where we are. I ask you where have the following DEMOCRATIC policies led us:
1. The Department of Education. It's FUBAR'ed 2. Social Security: It's FUBAR'ed 3. Medicaid/Medicare: It's FUBAR'ed 4. War On Poverty: It's FUBAR'ed 5. Fannie Mae: It's FUBAR'ed 6. Freddie Mac: It's FUBAR'ed 7. HUD: It's FUBAR'ed 8. EPA: It's FUBAR'd
The problem with you liberal losers is, let's say, CAP and TRADE. You people, through textbook $250 a semester learning, believe that by taxing the shit out of utilities, therefore the consumer, you can make the whole world happy. Well, you can't. If you really want to attack the problem, tax the crap out of the Chinese or the Russians. WHY IS IT ALWAYS AMERICA'S FAULT? And if it is, refer to #8. And if it is, go breathe a years worth of LA's air.
Now, Assnoymous, go take a leap at a rolling doughnut.
Was is das Herr Schattenkirk? You still continue to read both don't you. And ASSpat, do you REALLY believe the R's had no role to play in the mess WE are in? Most people understand there are several parties to blame. D's, R's, money changers too...
No, I'm sure both sides have blame, but I am sick and tired of the Democrats NOT getting the blame.
If a person- black, yellow, red, orange or white- can't afford a house, a loan, a car or whatever, they shouldn't get the loan. Liberal "feelings" of helping the poor and unqualified get into houses has caused this economic tumble worldwide.

So you are saying the majority of money lenders are liberals? Or were they put under a spell by liberals?
Watch and learn.
