House Passes Bill to Punish A.I.G. Bonus Recipients - NYTimes.com

WASHINGTON — Spurred on by a tidal wave of public anger over bonuses paid to executives of the foundering American International Group, the House voted 328 to 93 on Thursday to get back most of the money by levying a 90 percent tax on it.

Ha! Okay, the House may be ignoring a lot of larger issues, but this is a pretty humorous and creative way of dealing with the legalities of denying those bonuses.
