AIG Now Caught on the Taxpayers Dime . . . Again
Next time the federal government bails out the big business morons, they really need to attach some strings and some consequences. It is absolutely ridiculous what the ABC15 reporters found. At first glance, the 2008 Asset Management Conference held this week at the Pointe Hilton Squaw Peak Resort in Phoenix looked like a normal conference. However, the people who went to it were less than ordinary. American International Group made efforts to disguise the conference, and there were no AIG logos or signs anywhere on the property (they were a $343,000 sponsor of the event which was not allowed under the bailout rules). The ABC15 Investigators went undercover at the resort and observed AIG executives having poolside meetings while drinking coffee and working out at the spa while other attendees were in conference rooms for seminars. The executives were also seen at after parties drinking it up and having AIG pick up the tab (ie the taxpayers). I wonder what else we picked up the tab for: taxi trips, travel insurance, room service? The hotel staff were told they weren’t even allowed to say AIG.
This, of course, comes on the heels of them getting another $40 million (or is it billion?) of taxpayer money to bail them out. Yeah, I think we need to take the blank check away. How about you? Obviously, AIG doesn’t get it.

Return Address Labels & Superior Labels
I just recently ordered some return address labels from Superior Labels. I have to say that I am impressed with their service and their quality of labels. There is nothing more that I hate than to have to put my return address all of my Christmas cards or birthday invitations. What I like most about Superior Labels is that you can order by the sheet or by the roll. Basically, you can order whatever your needs are. You can pick what you want on your labels also. Do you want a black and white graphic? They have those. Do you want a color graphic? They have those too. How about custom graphics? Well, you can do those also. They even have university graphics! Not sure what exactly you want? They have an entire online catalog of graphics to choose from! You can even get return address labels starting at only $1! Now, I personally ordered a roll of labels. It is a huge roll – I didn’t realize that 300 labels were that many! I am so glad that I also ordered a return label dispenser too. I am hoping that it will keep my children from using these labels as stickers! It also keeps the labels from sticking to other things they shouldn’t in my cupboard.
What I like best about Superior Labels is that they have very cheap shipping. The cheapest shipping starts at $2.95 (vs $7.95 from their leading competitor). There is also no upload fee for custom graphics (which starts at $5 elsewhere). I love that you can even order free address labels and do a test run (you just have to cover the shipping). If you want a good quality product for a great price, check out Superior Labels. You won’t be disappointed. (I know I wasn’t!)
