Hey, this might be piling on a bit, but today’s Hecker story is full of fun info: Denny planned a facelift while all this was going on; his wife can’t afford to maintain both the pools at the house; he takes private jet trips to confer with his lawyers… This is way more fun than Petters.

Is there some kind of mental disease that infects the nouveau riche? The rich complain about entitlements to the poor but, sheesh, some of them sure act entitled.
