One week from today's when the nominations begin for the TOP DUmmies OF 2010, on Thanksgiving Day Eve.
How much is Skins, Lord Marblehead EarlG, and Elad making off the primitives?
By "how much," I don't mean a dollar amount, which would be impossible to verify anyway, given that Skins's island is a private corporation, and hence not bound to tell anyone other than the Internal Revenue Service, what its income is.
Five years ago, my fellow alum admitted (perhaps without meaning to) that Skins's island back then was bringing in circa $25,000 per quarterly fund-raiser. It's probably been up-and-down since then, maybe a little bit of an increase, maybe not.
But at any rate, one is confident that if Skins runs short of funds any particular time, The Democrat Leadership Council (DLC), which founded Skin's island, will step in to take care of the shortfall (if any).
One hundred thousand dollars divided three ways is $33,333 per administrator in this endeavor, which is a pretty piece of change for anybody excepting Democrat senators and congressmen, most of whom are multi-millionaires as it is.
I suspect, however, that since Skins and Lord Marblehead are partners, and Elad merely an employee, the take isn't split an even three ways; it's probably split something like 45%-45%-10%, with employee Elad getting the short end of the stick.
Which burns franksolich up, because I think my fellow alum should get something more like 75%, given his position, employee Elad 24% given that he's the brains of the operation, and Lord Marblehead what's left over.
What Lord Marblehead contributes to Skins's island is simply deadweight.
Seared on this memory forever is that it was Lord Marblehead, left alone in the office over the noon-hour while Skins and Elad went out to lunch, in late April 2005 gave Doug's then-wife the go-ahead to start the Scamdal. The Scamdal proved so damaging to, so destructive of, Skins's island that it's doubtful my fellow alum and Elad leave Lord Marblehead in the office alone anymore.
But no matter how it's all split up, the question is, is Skins extracting too much from the primitives?
Mine is a minority opinion, but I think no; I think Skins should be milking the primitives for far more than what he's getting; the sky's the limit, what my fellow alum should be getting.
I think he deserves all he can get, because the primitives are such a pain in the posterior, always whining, crying, sobbing, complaining, disgruntling, fighting, wiggle-waggling their armpits against each other (and against Larry, Moe, and Curly Joe). Petulant little children, the primitives. Because the primitives are such an irksome burden, I think my fellow alum should be getting their welfare checks, their rent money, their grocery money, their drug money, the whole bit, every cent of it.
