Outrageous! Play Ball -- Or Else!

Mr. Crowley: Do you bother to find out what the Inernational Peace Garden is or why it is in existance? In fact the Peace Garden is 15 miles north of Dunseith, ND and is in both the USA and Canada. Its maintaince and upkeep is provided by both the USA and the Canadian governments. This lasting symbol of the peaceful coexistance that is remarkable in this world of unrest is not a pork project!! ND does have no shortage of pork projects but the International Peace Garden and upkeep is not one

We see Presidents and CEO's of companies getting large bonuses and redecorating offices but what about our own President Obama (whom I voted for) using such an expensive decorater for his home at the White House. NO Different. Please just use the furniture that is there during these hard, economic times. Outrageous, isn't it?????

I've just read your article on "The Hall of Shame." I see that we have been able to stop military financial abuse somewhat, but with regard to the auto, banking, securities area there should be some way to recover the obscene bonuses and golden chutes we have given to the heads of these concerns. Being a mid manager in the financial industry for 30 years, if we or our subordinates fostered such disasterous results termination rather than bonuses would have been our fate. Lets get the $$ back!
