Last week's Carnival can be found here Miscellany First * Professor Bainbridge discusses Martha Stewart and executive compensation.

Recently, those activists have begun singling out for special attention the countless perks executives get - apartments, limos, drivers, private planes, etc.... This post looks at the perks Martha Stewart gets from Martha Stewart Omnimedia, and argues that Stewart's perks can be justified as brand promotion in a way that most CEO perks cannot. |

It's funny how my masculine personality hates to admit this particular fantasy, yet I'm rock hard just from writing the previous line, LOL. The only problem seems to be finding suitable playmates for such fantasies, because she's extremely picky. |
