Scott Stewart’s supernatural thriller Legion, scripted by Peter Schink, concerns a group of strangers in an out-of-the-way eatery who become the first line of defense when God, believing the human race is no longer worthy of Him, decides to end their existence. This motley crew’s only spiritual ally is the archangel Michael, played by Paul Bettany. Dennis Quaid, Tyrese Gibson, Charles S. Dutton, and Lucas Black co-star in the Screen Gems production.
Scott Brown picks up another newspaper endorsement and airs new ad…
From the Lowell Sun endorsement:
(…) As a U.S. senator, Brown would strive to make the vital interest of Massachusetts his top priority. He won’t chase political ambitions, a seat at international global warming conferences, a date with an Iranian leader, or contributions from lobbyists currying favor. Instead, he’ll chase what matters to fulfill the American dream, fight for it, and bring it on home to Massachusetts where residents can once again prosper with pride.
A vote for Brown is a vote to return to common-sense leadership, financial stability and traditional American values.
The Sun endorses Scott Brown for U.S. Senate in the Jan. 19 special election.
Jamie’s Cryin’: Dimon says he’s tired of complaints about banker pay and bonuses
Vodpod videos no longer available.
Another day, another classic VH tune fits the lede, Jamie Dimon is pushing back against the ‘rising populist tide’ in re banker bonuses and pay. If you have been here before, you know we are big fans of Jamie and wanted him for Treasury Secretary. We like that he is a fighter.
But we also know the banking industry and Wall St selected obama as their candidate for a reason, and since it is Obama ginning up the faux populism and then slamming we Tea Party Patriots for being concerned about Government spending, well, Jamie needs to talk to the WH, not the people, WE are not the problem…..
…Jamie Dimon defended the bank’s pay policies on Monday and said he was “tired” of his employees being vilified over bonuses.
Rising bonuses have drawn criticism from politicians and others, who complain Wall Street’s losses seem to be socialized while its profits are privatized.
Dimon, along with the chief executives of Goldman Sachs Group Inc (GS.N), Morgan Stanley (MS.N) and other big banks, will be appearing this week before a commission created by Congress to look into causes of the financial meltdown.
JP Morgan pays its employees for sustained performance over multiple years, Dimon said on Monday.
“We do not have change-of-control agreements, special executive retirement plans, golden parachutes, special severance packages or merger bonuses,” he told a JP Morgan healthcare conference, adding that many of company’s employees are in client-facing jobs and work hard with small and mid-size businesses.
“I am a little tired of the constant vilification of these people,” he said….
PS Jamie says Commercial R.E. is a ‘train wreck’ but we knew that was coming…..
