Ya gotta love that Mittster. Three homes, wife with two Cadillacs (and untold horses), low taxes and so on. But suppose Mitt was charged for things based on what he earned as compared to you ??
Click here and see how Mitt measures up to your earnings (and what it costs).

".... when everyone's talking and no one is listening, how can we decide ?"

Well, seems Gordon Gekko has changed sides.
Took long enough; now that the damage has been done (and continues).
Too bad the bankers that broke the law haven't been jailed (or at least indicted).
When are folks gonna wake up and understand where their self-interest lies ??

LOUSY div ...
My last two week "pay period" of Driving4$$ was the worst I've had in four years.
At least the customers were (for the most part) pleasant - - just clueless. I was stiffed four times, but I've only been treated like this a couple of times - - and only once with the snark.
Worst one I can remember is the couple I picked up at BWI going to Dulles. $99 fare (flat rate, no gratuity included). Throughout the whole trip (60 miles) I was told about the wonderful four week vacation, how much it cost and how well his business (something to do with religion lawsuits and passing out bibles) in California was doing. Gave me a Benjamin and said "keep the change." I gave him back the buck and asked him to donate it to a charity. Another jerk berated and penalized me for the traffic on the beltway at rush hour (even though he and his wife arrived at the airport on time). Oh well, it takes all kinds.
People don't seem to understand our current economy. Pretty much everyone that works in a "service" industry (wait staff, busboys, cab drivers, pizza/food delivery) receive less than the legal minimum wage. I'm lucky in that my company's owner pays at the top of the scale, but my income still depends on the "kindness of others," based on the service I deliver - - hustling the bags, holding doors, asking whether or not they've forgotten anything, driving smoothly and safely, offering tips on sight-seeing and restaurants (or just knowing when to shut up) and so on - - it really is an art and some of my brother and sister drivers are clueless also.
So, in response to Mr. Banker above, ..........well you know the words (and rude gestures).
I just wonder what he contributes to our soceity ?? (and yes, the tip was less than 1%).

One of the problems with any hobby is all the ancillary "gear" accompanying it.
This greatly simplifies the process:

Which Side Are You On (?) div
I get the feeling that a huge majority of Al Queda "sympathizers" in the DC Metro region (and possibly nation-wide) are FBI agents (or informers).

FUN (?) div
Yep ! He actually said it.
I'm sorry friends and neighbors, but when I see this:
the only image that comes to mind is someone that has "shit his pants" and doesn't know how to come up with a polite excuse to leave the room - - certainly not FUN !!!
