First up -- Joe Cassano, former master of the universe/AIG derivatives division. Best part was Cassano's $280 million compensation over an eight-year period, plus $1 million/month salary paid by AIG for his "consultant" work for the firm after he was no longer on AIG staff. Bloomberg story is best of the bunch; NY Times' is by far the weakest.
Next up -- Porn stars testified in a Los Angeles hearing that using condoms during filming would cramp their style. According to the LA Times story, one porn actor said "If you're worried or paranoid, you should not be in this industry."
And then -- Elena Kagan in a genuinely funny moment at her Senate committee confirmation hearings. The Talking Points Memo story includes the relevant dialogue between Senator Lindsay Graham and Supreme Court nominee Kagan.
