Man, ol' Neil must be one of the nicest people alive. Folks from all over the world just line up around the goddam block to give him money for doing nothing.
Neil Bush, a younger brother of US President George W. Bush, has had a $60,000-a-year employment contract with a top adviser to a Washington-based consulting firm set up this year to help companies secure contracts in Iraq.Neil Bush disclosed the payments during divorce proceedings in March from his now ex-wife, Sharon.
The divorce was finalised in April and the court papers were disclosed by the Houston Chronicle this week.
Mr Bush said he was co-chairman of Crest Investment Corporation, a company based in Houston, Texas, that invests in energy and other ventures.
For this he received $15,000 every three months for working an average three or four hours a week.
The other co-chairman and principal of Crest is Jamal Daniel, a Syrian-American who is an advisory board member of New Bridge Strategies, a company set up this year by a group of businessmen with close links to the Bush family or administrations.
Its chairman is Joe Allbaugh, George W. Bush's campaign director in the 2000 presidential elections.

I am fascinated by the videos you did for take back the media. I would love to use portions on my TV program, and I would love to use music like it for a video that I am producing on Freedom in the workplace. Can I use portions?
Hw could I get music like that?
Thanks

Gold ol' Neil makes Brother Billy (Carter) sound look a saint (though his beer tasted like pony piss). Using 4 hours a week and $60k annual compensation, that works out to be $288.46/hr. Not too shabby. Nice to know that everyone's got their hands into the national cookie jar.
Reminds me of a line from an '80's song "get your money for nothin' and your chicks for free". Who was that group?

That was Dire Straits, my man. With a little help from Sting on vocals.
