The latest dispatches from Wall Street will turn your face Gator red.
It seems a Merrill Lynch executive John Thain doled out billions of dollars in bonuses to company executives even as the failing firm was about to acquired by Bank of America and was reporting 4th quarter losses in 2008 of more than $15 billion.
Most infuriating, the pre-eminent DB apparently spent $1.2 million refurbishing his office, including having a $35,000 toilet installed. Click here to see the other items he lavished on himself.
To make up for it, the feds should jail Thain and use his golden parachute to buy every taxpayer an Orange Lamborghini like the one pictured here!
These photos were submitted to The Big Orange Vehicle Blog by Konrad in Indianapolis. He was fortunate enough to get to drive this Tennessee-Orange Gallardo for a column he writes for the Indy Star newspaper.
"Do you collect pictures of Orange cars with Australians posing on the hood?" he asked in an e-mail.
Of course! (Though it would be better if that Australian were an attractive model instead of a newspaper columnist, but we'll take what we can get!)

PS -- This isn't the first truly-Orange Lamborghini featured on the BOVB. Click here to see the first one.
