economy getting better? for who? a tiny rant
gas went up again $2.19/gal - 10-cents in a week

just called to order heating oil - $2.13 a gallon -- ordered 150 gallons, total cost $319.00 -- going to take about 2 months to pay it off - hope the oil lasts that long, and I'm dreading seeing what it will cost us in February

glad we are supplementing heating the house with a wood stove. We put up 6 cords of wood, down to 4 cords now - hope it lasts, we average about a cord a month. Will probably order another cord of wood this weekend as a buffer

word from headquarters at work - no X-MASS bonuses this year - bigwig told us our bonus was that the doors didn't close

I've been working 10-15hrs overtime, and my partner and I are both looking for 2nd jobs

when are we going to stop being TINKLED ON and see some of that trickle down?

don't know about you - but I've had enough

1. Well DAMN, it's your fault for not owning stocks and getting all
those reductions on dividend taxes! You know if you would just invest all your money, you'd be living GREAT now!!!

You do know that's exactly what the Pubs would tell you, don't you?

3. The economy is not doing well.
Only the richest are doing well.

4. Well, it's those darn lib'ruls fault.
They're the ones keeping our Beloved, Exalted, All-Seeing, All-Knowing, Beloved, Dear, Sweet, Cute, Manly, Athletic, Handsome, Beloved, Great, Super, Wonderful, (did I mention Beloved??) leader from destroying Social Security. If only he were permitted to do that one thing, we'd all be rich.

No, really!

:sarcasm:
