Good afternoon ladies!

Hope everyone is well, I'm reading when I can....which isn't often lately.

I've stopped watching TV and trying to NOT read too much news. I miss EC's links but perhaps it's for the best

I do look at Red State and this guy caught my eye..... what do you think? He has lots of comments on articles and most of his replies reference some sort of movie character or other great known writer. Great minds think alike?

Tough luck.

You know, I’m not entirely certain I begrudge the AIG people the bonuses they’ve been paid. Frankly, I don’t know, and I suspect no one else who has commented on the bonuses does either, what the basis of the bonuses was. So they may have been entirely proper given the circumstances of the contracts involved. Or they could be the closest thing to handing a political donor a bag of money that you will see on this side of the eternal divide, in which case I really would want them strung up on the wrack if only that hadn’t been outlawed. But either way, I don’t have the information to determine whether or not the bonus were legal and appropriate.

And I don’t want the government putting salary caps on big businesses that haven’t been bailed out. But quite honestly, the part of the country to which you refer is the part of the country that keeps putting these twits in office and thinking there won’t be any comeuppance. Well, in the words made famous by Jack Nicholson as the Joker “It’s your uncle Bingo. Time to pay the check!”

Nothing against you personally Francis. You’ve given good advice and people ought to heed it, even in this case. If they do, we’ll all be better off. But I don’t expect them to, because they haven’t in the past. And that really will be a tough luck break for all of us. But there is no way in all the 9 levels of hades I’m going to be sympathetic to the people who brought this upon us all.

Very interesting....................I wonder.

You won't believe my sister in Nashvville. She has gotten herself involved as one of the organizers of the Tea Party on 04/15. My sister has been about as apolitical as anyone could ever be but she's pissed off. She is planning the tea party in her county (the county just north of Nashville) and helping with the one in Nashville. She's become an activist and I think it's great!

Good for your sis!

No Tea Party around here that I can find.... I need to get off my dead ass and organize it myself.

your sister rocks!

None around here either that I can find.

Too bad too cus I know alot of people would go!

We are having one here. Tax Day on the riverwalk. 20 or so minutes from the house. I may wander over there and get pictures. They have combined the protest with a food drive. That I like.

That is cool Sheila!

Hummer, I'm impressed how involved your sister is.

Yeah Deb, if anything it will fill up pantries around here. That to me is the most important part of going.

And to see funny signs.

It's my sister who's gone off the edge into the abyss of politics. Come to think of it - does Hummer have any sisters?

Brothers - you don't have brothers, right? Or I'm just losing my memory because now I remember your two sisters.

OOOOPS
