Blogosphere, outraged citizens call on government to subpoena AIG

What a weekend, wherein we were treated to more of the same from the beloved banking class. Turns out one of the continuing lessons of the global financial catastrophe is that if you're a high-finance worker -- say, one of the big brains at AIG's infamous Financial Products Group -- and you just keep demanding bonuses no matter how bad you are at your job, everyone will simply agree that you deserve them and that, in fact, there's no legal way not to pay you -- your million-dollar "bonus" is really your "salary" and apparently, that is like a birthright.
