I don't think we ever stop missing them. Sounds like some of what she stood for is still with you.

My mama never said anything about a box of chocolates, though.

Chas, I think you're confused about the difference between being one and having one. Now the second part there, I'll just have to trust. I don't wanna see any evidence.

Regards,

Oh, and my comment on the new congressman?
Could this be Propagnada Minister Herr Becks George Washington?
If so, all I can say is "Sieg Heil!!!"

Well I went back and listened to him, not all of it as I had just eaten and did not want to upchuck. Frex, his BS statement implying that it was the government that caused the housing crisis. Certainly everyone has the right to own a home - if they can afford one. It was never a mandate that everyone be given a mortgage even if they could not make the payments. It was the brokers and the banks (can you say Wells Fargo) who wrote those crooked mortgages, then bundled them into derivatives and sold them - after they had peeled a handsome profit off the top.

Goldmann Sachs sold derivatives then sold bets that the payment would fail, rather like selling a blind man a car then buying insurance on his life. Pull your effing heads out and take an honest look around, we were not born yesterday, nor the day before that either.

Greed, greed, greed.

Or, as the saying goes, "I may have been born yesterday but I've been up all night."
