Perry rang today to clarify a few things about his payout. He was more civilized towards me this time. Apparently, after earning a fortune by not doing much here for the past six months, he was pleased to tell me that he’s somehow managed to arrange his finances so that he’s now getting unemployment benefits. He said he intends to stay that way for a while. He said it’s great to have a safety net.
Now, I’m all for providing safety nets for people who need them. The trouble is that the Winkles of this world think that safety nets are the same things as hammocks.
