While I am actually a fan of Chelsea, I find this humorous. Or not, as The Big Lead notes here:
One of the most notable of these, for sports fans, is A.I.G.’s mega deal with Manchester United, to appear on their jerseys. In 2006, the insurance company signed a record four-year $98.88 million deal for the prominent frontage. The agreement lasts until 2010.
So, basically, while one out of eight Michigan residents require food stamps and public elementary school classrooms climb toward 40 students, a further $50 million of taxpayer money, will be donated directly to Manchester United.

I remember reading articles in December and January warning of a financial crisis in September. I guess they were right. I will not tell you what those same articles said about your bank.
Thanks Alan Greenspan for proving that the housing market can go down and that Wall Street can not govern itself. Unfortunately, you and your supply side monetarist had to bankrupt the country. I sure hope Obama can be the next FDR.
Maybe Man U will now tank as badly as the economy? GUNNERS FOR LIFE!
Katie! I never took you for a Gooner...
