$363M is average pay for top hedge fund managers
Posted 5/26/2006 12:21 AM ET E-mail | Save | Print | Reprints & Permissions |
By Adam Shell, USA TODAY
NEW YORK — James Simons, a mathematician turned money manager who prefers hiring Ph.D.s over MBAs, inched out oil tycoon T. Boone Pickens Jr. as the world's best-paid hedge fund manager in 2005, collecting an estimated $1.5 billion, according to rankings released today by Institutional Investor's Alpha magazine.
In rising to the top of what amounts to a who's who list of the secretive hedge fund world, Simons, of Renaissance Technologies, unseated 2004's top earner and first-ever billion-dollar man, Edward Lampert of ESL Investments, who is best known for buying Kmart and masterminding the blockbuster deal to buy Sears. Lampert's earnings dipped to an estimated $425 million last year, down from $1.0 billion in 2004.
"These are staggering numbers," said Alpha editor Michael Peltz in announcing its fifth-annual list of Top 25 earners. "It took $130 million to make the list."

Goldberg says surveys from the time indicate Germans loved their socialism. He says there's reams of social science that backs this up. He says in the Germany of that time redshirts constantly switched to being brownshirts.
Had the son of Lucianne Moneymountain actually attended school, he might understand that you can use Marxist terms (in fact to understand economics you must) without being a Marxist.

This is why we are fucked. (In a nutshell)
These are the first two paragraphs from the New York Times lead editorial from Sunday's paper. Unfinished Debate on Iraq
Iraq will be a central challenge — perhaps the central challenge — for whoever succeeds President Bush and has to repair the profound damage he has wrought with a war that should never have been fought and has been managed so ineptly. The candidates must talk more to the American people about when troops will be withdrawn and how it will be done, as well as how they will manage relations with Iraq and the region.
Yet the war has receded as a major topic on the campaign trail, much to the relief of the Republican candidates, who never stray far from the party line but know that Americans overwhelmingly want the troops home.
The editorial goes on to explain the obvious except for one central issue: the role that the news media, particularly the NEW YORK TIMES has played in this fiasco. This week when nine soldiers were killed in Iraq - six in one incident - the paper did not even list this incident on their web page until at least 12 hours after it happened.
If a soldier dies in Iraq and no one reports it, did it really happen?
Yes, but opposition to the war has been shut down from the outset and continues to be discounted by the news media of this country led by the New York Times.
They are the worst people imaginable. And to criticize Americans for something they are responsible for is chutzpah to the enth degree.

The son of Lucianne Moneymountain is an illustration of how useless it is to have someone speak about a period of history without understanding it. He would probably argue that Rome could hardly have conquered Greece because they loved Greek culture, handicrafts and technicians so much.

The president was cheered by news that Iraq's parliament had approved legislation reinstating thousands of former supporters of Saddam Hussein's dissolved Baath party to government jobs. Bush had prodded Iraqi leaders for more than a year to enact the law.
"It's an important step toward reconciliation," Bush said as he opened talks with Bahrain's King Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa. "It's an important sign that the leaders of that country understand that they must work together to meet the aspirations of the Iraqi people."

That's because they are know-nothings. If they had any education they would see a bit of a difference between Keynes and Lenin. The fact that they cannot is a disqualifying inability on their part, rather like a doctor who sees no difference between surgery and butchery.

The ignorant son of Lucianne Moneymountain says one New Deal organization used a swastika as an insignia.
This is unforgivable. The Jews might allow themselves to go insane in public (as with the activist moron who wanted antique ironwork torn down because it had fretwork hidden somewhere on it and this was the same thing as the Holocaust to him) at the very existence of the single most important and widespread human symbol on Earth, but others know that this was hardly invented or owned by the brainless Nazis. In fact, far from being tied to secret Buddhist meanings, the swastika was undergoing a fashion of immerse popularity, and was literally everywhere, on greeting cards for a variety of holidays, used as the mark of publishing houses, on the symbol of the leftist Itralian electrical worker's union prior to Mussolini, on Rudyard Kipling's signature and on a promotional watch fob offered by Coca Cola. Mostly it was cool looking, lucky and without a copyright. Furthermore in America it had special meaning as a symbol of the First Nations, some of whom still use it. An army unit used it as their symbol and that hardly made them Hitlerites. The swastika is better known to humanity than the circle; if a society has any sort of marking, it will have some form of swastika or triskelion. To insist on this nonsense about the swastika only meaning Nazism is to admit that the peaker knows nothing and has no respect for his audience.
Bush may APPEAR to be fascist cause of 1,2,3.. but REALLY, if you look at the Hollywood ethos you will see..

(this might have been written prior to his "batshit insane" phase).
Indeed, not only did Irving go from a sane into an insane phase, there is evidence that it was similar to what Reich went through (succumbing to ad hominems, taking everything personally, over-identifying with the material), and some indication that Irving might be straightening out.
Goldberg says it's a myth that corporations are fascistic. He says corporations are motivated purely by the second derivative.
how/why would you review a book that is based on the logic that:
some fascists were vegetarians. some liberals are vegetarians. therefor, liberals are fascists.

I have been watching this game while listening to music. I really could not care less who wins but I have noticed that several of the official's calls against New England are questionable.
If you are going to call the game close, call it both ways.
The son of Lucianne Moneymountain says it's a myth that corporations are fascistic. He says corporations are motivated purely by the second derivative.
Chomsky smashes and buries this with the skill of a real intellectual: large corporations are based on top-down hierarchic totalitarian advancement of the organization. Theyare. That's how they work. Period. There is no discussion to be had. This is a myth?! That's preposterous. It's like claiming there's no hierarchy in the military, that it's a popular misconception that the army is obsessed with obeying rules.

2 B fair to Kipling (who I consider underrated, but that's just me) -- he HATED the Nazis (ahead of W. B. Yeats on that one) & removed the swastikas that had been on the title pages of his books (a romantic Buddhist monk from "Kim" thing? -- who knows? -- BTW -- "Kim" seems to me 2 B a classic example of Edward Said's complaints of "Orientalism" & racist, etc., but parts of it are a really good read!)

Not busting your chops, but if he's not saying they're fascists, then what's the point?
Swastikas in various forms are ancient symbols. The Nazis very uncreatively co-opted the symbol.
Ancient nothing (they still signify religious importance sites in the East), they were suddenly fashionable through the 20s and 30s and you'd have to be blind to not see them. Everybody was usiung them as logos; the fact that the Nazis tried to take over the bandwagon so to speak illustrates nothing about the whole "black magic" nonsense and everything about the Nazi obsession with being fashionable. Compare the vegetarianism, the nudity, Hitler's preference of one Communist convert to ten Rightists, the engine-devouring alcohol-diluted gasoline, the animal-loving (Himmler reportedly was sincerely horrified by the cooking of lobsters), and so forth. it's all propaganda garbage intended to attract as wide a range of people as possible, and doubles as a myriad of alibis for the elusive Nazi ideology ("there's only one Nazi, Hitler, he's the only one who knows what it really is").

Thanks -- I wanted to do a serious study of Kipling in my High School honors class, but Miss Rowlands insisted that I do Yeats instead -- mind you, I didn't really appreciate Kipling yet, but I sure didn't get Yeats! So I read & wrote about Yeats, but lacked the political & social & cultural understanding to appreciate him -- Kipling can be enjoyed on many different levels (IMHO) OTOH, I am not a great fan of his favorite general "Bobs" (i.e., Field Marshall Roberts) -- although I do admire his mustache!

Do it in real life, fracking stim junkies: one of those parties was in the real-life Marines and one wasn't. In fact to be fair you can let the son of Lucianne Moneymountain tag team with the son of Norman Podhoretz (which means something like "The Under-Horetz") and we'll murder them both with our bare hands.
Well, some of them are.
Does he say how he would characterize returning military members who murder someone?
