Apparently, Mr. Bing gets his jollies by seeing the oppressors in action.
Stanley Bing is a Fortune columnist and best-selling author of business books noted for their wisdom as well as their sharp, slightly acrid sense of humor. He is also the only writer on business and the workplace who still puts on a suit and tie and goes to do battle with the dragons that breathe fire at corporate America every day. This blog captures what remains of his brain after it has exploded in all other directions.

Tim Geithner dropped the F-Bomb repeatedly the other day. And I think it’s safe to say it’s living proof that genuine regulatory reform is now on the way.
I guess they’d better get used to it, too. According to 60 Minutes, Mr. Bernanke too isn’t above slamming down a phone now and then on people who tick him off, and good thing, I say. When executives start being abusive, things get done.
It could be worse for the recipients of Geithnerian ire. When the young Augustus Caesar was just beginning the career path that ended up making him the best chief executive of all time, he found himself in the presence of a fellow-Roman who had for one reason or another genuinely ticked him off. He didn’t discuss the matter. He didn’t politely reprimand him. He simply reached out and plucked the guy’s eyeball out of head. Then he let him go.
Times have changed since then, but not quite completely, I guess. Which I think is good news for anybody who thinks we need to execute some changes around this place.

Funny stuff. Unfortunately that link isn't playing nice with my browser and I don't seem to be able to see most of the article, but if he's literally at the point of using foul language out of frustration, I'd love to hear that.
Maybe this would be a good time to ask him one more time about his tax return...
This whole article reeks of the little nerdy kid in the playground sucking up to the biggest bully.
Some narcissist gets drunk off power and throws a tantrum and this is supposed to impress me...... how?
