Off-Topic: Win an AIG Maraca

american international group, aig, bailout, shmula, tarp, obama, executive compensation, bonus, maracaLast night, I was on the floor playing with my toddler and I noticed that he was shaking a maraca — so we had a daddy/baby jam session, with me tapping on the carpet and with him shaking the maraca.  Then, I noticed what the maraca said: “AIG – Sun America”.

I thought, “hey, maybe my baby boy won’t mind if I take this maraca and raffle this thing off on shmula.com” — today is your lucky day!
