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.

You beat me to the punch....line. And that's a good thing? ;-)

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.
