I think what gets me the most is how much a failure CEO gets paid.  My wife
used to work for SGI and they burned through two CEOs while she was there.
They both did their best to drive SGI into the ground and got paid handsomely
for it.  And when they were done pillaging SGI, they went on to be corporate
level execs in other companies, just to spread the pain a little.
