[lbo-talk] BHO doesn't "begrudge" Jamie & Lloyd's bonuses

[Alan Rudy]

Can I get box or mezzanine seats to watch Jamie and Lloyd be savvy?  Are
there offices going to be wired into my Comcast Cable system, perhaps as
part of a business package, some time soon? I'd love it if the public and I
could to be kept abreast of their moment to moment activities.  Are they
going to get camera bays in their outer offices?  Could I arrange for CC to
thrown fastballs at them, or Pujols to rifle line drives by their heads, or
Manny to whip them with his hair...?
