I've already put all those fifth columnists on ignore. But, I will respond when I see them working for Israel against the interests of the US and human compassion and decency. The Bush admin. is OVER, and times WILL change.

The absolute horror!

"I began to think about my options: I’d have to sell the cottage in West Palm Beach immediately. I’d need to lay off Yolanda. I could cancel the newspaper subscriptions and read everything online. I only needed a cell phone. I’d have to stop taking taxis. And who could highlight my hair for almost no money? And how hard was it to give yourself a really good pedicure?
Then there is my jewelry. I’ve always collected nice watches and pearls. In the back of my mind I’d think, “Buy good stuff because if you're ever a bag lady, you can sell it.” It might have been a rationalization then—but here I am now: The nightmare may be coming true."

After reading that, one though immediately comes to mind: Why are so many intelligent, college-educated people such total idiots when it comes to money? Maybe personal finance should be part of the core curriculum of all U.S. college programs from now on......<NG>
