Patrick Byron, Overstock.com CEO and founder, went on Fox News last year and bashed President Obama and said that regulation and higher taxes on the rich was going to lead to a Great Depression #2. He said the government was lying and that there was no economic recovery.

That same jerk is now the subject of much scorn because of his absolutely stupid marketing move of trying to re-brand Overstock.com as O.co

... and ill fated move that cost them millions in lost revenues...

What's the old cliche about glass houses...
