What's amazing is the guy is in a high visability position and didn't think he did anything wrong. Don't they put us "little people" in jail for insider trading?

Meantime, back in our reality... Today from MSNBC

"If laid-off workers who have given up looking for new jobs or have settled for part-time work are included, the unemployment rate would have been 15.8 percent in April, the highest on records dating back to 1994."
