Sinking ship pays $1 million to stay afloat!!!

I just read in Publishers Weekly that new Borders CEO Ron Marshall will get $1 million base salary plus signing bonus for the first of his three year contract. Then, for the next two years he only gets $750,000. Gee, I'm definitely on the wrong end of publishing.

Is there any reason why we can't just send money to you to make up the difference?

And how else are we supposed to thank you? If not for your work at OMNI, I wouldn't be the person I am today. (And put down that straightrazor, please.)

Well, that depends upon whether you were going to use the straightrazor on yourself or on me. I'd recommend the latter.

Sorry: you've had your chance. Several times, in fact. You'll just have to upgrade to the shotgun.
