Robert Goulet, mustaches, and Curious Capitalist commenters

By wpcomimportuser1 | September 2, 2008 | +

This blog is all about promoting the careers and extracurricular activities of its regular commenters. So I’m thrilled to pass on the news that regular commenter Mustache Leader is looking for nominees for the first-ever “Robert Goulet Mustached American of the Year Award.” Which should really be the “Robert Goulet Mustachioed American of the Year Award,” but whatever. If you are a regular commenter, and have a mustache, I will of course nominate you. Just let me know.

Also, season 2 of lapsed commenter Marcus Westbury’s Not Quite Art TV series hits the airwaves starting at 10 p.m. Oct. 16 on ABC. The other ABC, I’m afraid.

In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday, Apple Inc. said that Cook requested that his restricted stock units not receive dividends. The dividends that Apple workers are getting amount to $2.65 per quarter for each restricted stock unit held. The shares are not normally eligible to receive dividends, so Apple’s decision is a perk for its employees.

The head of a typical public company made $9.6 million in 2011, according to an analysis by The Associated Press using data from Equilar, an executive pay research firm.

Mustache Leader

Clearly, the field of Mustached Americans eligible for this honor is wide and deep. Perhaps Ward Klein of Energizer, Chase Carey of Direct TV, Ted Turner of crazyville, or Jason Giambi of the Yankees.
