Part of posting to the InsureMe Agent Blog, as you might have figured, means reading up on the latest insurance happenings and forming some sort of intelligible opinion about them.

So as I perused the Net in search of the latest, "big" insurance news this morning, you can imagine my shock upon finding this headline under the Insurance News Net's "Breaking News" articles:

Humana CEO 2005 Salary $858,611, Bonus $1.3. Million.

I'm going to keep my sarcastic comments to myself go out on a limb here and say that this is not breaking news. In fact, I'm pretty sure next to no one is concerned with how much the Humana CEO made last year and is perhaps curious as to why the company would divulge such figures. (I guess I'm a sucker for modesty.)

Now, if CEO Michael McCallister had, say, donated a fourth of his earnings to charity or a humanitarian cause, then I'd be impressed. Then the "Breaking News" category might be warranted.

But perhaps I should cut INN some slack. Perhaps it's a slow insurance news day. :)

Back with more insurance news and commentary later.
