    I thought Richard Mulligan died back in 2000, but that picture says otherwise.

    In reply to Why Hasn't Annie Leibovitz Filed for Bankruptcy Yet?
    It is not quite accurate to say that Art Capital can "claim" owwnership to any of its collateral today. To do so, they would have to foreclose, which is a state-court process, on those liens (or Liebowitz could consenually trade the collateral for forgiveness of the liens, which I am assuming is not what is going on). Such foreclosure would likely trigger a bankruptcy since Liebowitz (or her other creditors) would seek its protections.

    What is likely occuring now is that both parties are in negotiations, Art Capital has sent a "reservation of rights" letter but has not called its loan and is negotiating, and both parties are using the threat of bankruptcy as leverage. While it is true that a judge could screw with their liens, it is also true that in no world does she get anything until her creditors are paid off, without those creditors' consent. So it is a double edged sword.

    She's busy beating her accountant with a bag of oranges today, and she'd like some privacy in This Difficult Time. Bobo says it leaves no bruises.

    Shotgun? LOL! Oh Jakey D, always trying to prove to the world how "street" you are despite your privileged persona.

    If you can only have one weapon, the shotgun is the best. Buckshot is devastating at close quarters and rifled slugs are effective out to 100 meters. At close range with rifled slugs I don't care what kind of body armor you're wearing, you're going down for the count.

    How is j-school astronomically expensive compared to, uh, any other degree track? I went to j-school (at a large public university). I'm pretty sure my tuition was the exact same amount as my friends in econ or whatever.

    By his ROI-centric rationale, every single college student should major in business or IT/computer science.

    @Botswana Meat Commission FC: Maybe because the returns are less based on the job market?

    Eh, what do I know--I went to J-school as well.

    Yes, IT, that worked out real well for my nephew. No job offers at all, since he wasn't imported from India. He went back to school and got an engineering degree and is doing nicely.But, I too am guilty of going the J-school route.
