Canadian plutocrats, we got your dog here

DougieDog Hot Dogs says the footlong creation is "mouth-wateringly delicious" — and it'll set diners back $100.

The Dragon Dog is made with a bratwurst infused with century-old Louis the 13th cognac, which costs more than $2,000 a bottle.

Other ingredients include Kobe beef seared in olive and truffle oil, fresh lobster (NO KETCHUP! - ed.) and a secret picante sauce.

I phink not -- "Calling it 'The Big Willie' fine with Willis CEO"

Calling it 'The Big Willie' fine with Willis CEO

(Crain's) — Call it "Big Willie," Joseph Plumeri says of his latest high-profile acquisition, the naming rights to Sears Tower.

I don't phink so

Sears Tower will become Willis Tower.

The insurance broker announced Thursday morning that it will move to the Sears Tower and that the building will be renamed Willis Tower.

Nice try though. They'd have better luck renaming the Chicago hot-dog as "Willis Weiners."

Though to be fair, I never pay my taxes either

Plutocrats or elites?

In Hamilton County, the state's most affluent just north of Indianapolis, McCain won with 60 percent of the vote - far less than President Bush's 75 percent in 2004.

it's not a loophole, it's a stimulus

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Tax and accounting loopholes that largely benefit rich taxpayers and companies cost the government $20 beelllion a year (holy phokking s#i+, 20 beeelllion, that's like, several weeks in Iraq - Ed.) even as the pay gap between chief executives and employees has widened, two groups said on Monday...

The report said large U.S. companies paid CEOs an average $10.5 meelllion in compensation last year, 344 times what the average worker earned.

That gap is expected to grow as the industries adding workers are those with the biggest pay gaps, the groups said. (Yay! Ed.)
