A couple of points first. Please read the Blogstream Service Notice. Sorry that I made comments about this.
Also, just returned from an absolutely delightful trip around New England thanks to our Laura. More on this when we get organized.
Today sent a note to my Congresswoman about The Failure of the Century (Congress' failure). She voted against the bailout. When 80% of Americans are in favor of it (CNN poll) and a vast majority of the economic experts interviewed said we need it, how can Congress be so politically partisan and selfcentered? Anyone wish to make a contribution to my retirement fund? Not an economic expert but do not wish to live under the overpass with the homeless.
Always knew Pelosi is an idiot. And a bunch of Democratic Congressmen voted against the bill. A big minus for the Democrats.
The Republican reaction and a big bunch of Republican Congressmen voting against it is a big, big minus for the Republicans.
As for the voting checkoff list. Alvin for President. The Bull Moose Party for us! But let's get real folks, we have to live with either McCain or Obama, Republicans or Democrats. Which one will be out of the frying pan and into the fire? A slight advantage for the Democrats and Obama. The Republicans have shot themselves in the foot - or some place more painful.
Never mind, now there are hurricanes on Wall Street & in Congress.
Came back just in time to see all my retirement go into the dumper and then for Congress to pull the lever.
Cracker has a very interesting article on the financial crisis on her blog at http://twittledee.blogstream.com/
And I've just joined paypal to send my share to Pioneer.
Great to see you posting again.
The Bull Moose Party? Well, we can't give a bull moose, but we can give you Sarah Palin, who has shot a bull moose. Is that close enough?
An interesting observation; Verizon's server is even slower.
