Hmmm, AIG. They used to be in the news a lot, didn’t they?

I gave up on trying to understand politics a long time ago (when I was a political reporter at The Birmingham News and was constantly getting scooped by rivals who had a far better sense than I of what was political dynamite in Alabama and what was not). So I found Jay Newton-Small’s explanation of why the congressional outrage over AIG’s bonuses has already mostly died down most educational. If a little depressing.
