Gee, I hope he has a merrier Christmas this year. Edward Liddy is the president of Allstate, the "good hands" people. The WSJ reports, in part, the following in a front page article today:

[Allstate] lost $1.55 billion in the third quarter of last year, largely due to the storms. Mr. Liddy's annual cash bonus, which is tied to Allstate's results, fell to $538,351 last year from nearly $3.7 million in 2004.
