Something is going our way

Sunday, October 12th, 2008

Like many of you, we have seen our retirement savings and home value on a course somewhat like that of the Titanic. For most of us there is no rescue or bail-out. In fact, we will be paying for the bail-out of the greedy and criminal and those who were stupid enough to think they could get something for nothing. For those taking our money, I wish you to be walked upon by the feet of a thousand camels. I wish the bird of paradise flies up you nose and lays a large rotten egg. I wish . . . (add your own wish here).

Good, now I feel better and at least this picture gets me all warm and tingly. Something is going our way!
