Wanna really piss your friends off? Send them a fake bailout check! Kidding — it's all in harmless fun. Everyone deserves a bailout of some sort, even if it's a “Get Out Of Uncomfortable Situation Free” sort of deal. I wrote myself one for one million dollars, because boats are super expensive!

Didn't agree with the bailout? Thought you could've done a better job? We'll see about that. Hit up this amazingly well-designed (and entertaining) game, which is inspired by Monopoly, but you get to choose who gets bailed out and who gets the ax. Watch out for the recession (ie angry mob in red pickup truck!)

It's not just AIG who's getting in on the lavish, taxpayer-funded corporate retreats. Ok, it's mostly AIG. I am with Seth and Amy on this one.

Before Neel Kashkari was given $700 billion to save the world, he was a high school senior who loved AC/DC. Here’s his 1991 yearbook page. He’s also a fan of Shakespeare, football, and war in Iraq.
