Cut those American jobs, cut those benefits get yourself a fat pension.
In other economic waste news, I got a chance to see the most vile, disgusting, obnoxious and mind numbing show on television. If you want a lesson in waste, self absorption, and complete ignorance to the suffering and problems of a greater world watch this. More plastic than the toy aisle at Wal-Mart. The show makes me literally sick to my stomach to watch. Seriously.

this is an absolutely radical blog you've got here. good post too....
bellingham represent.
Thx I. I dig the graphic layout and pictures on your pages. I need to hit you up with a link as soon as I update my blog roll.
That's funny because really only Union Pacific(UNP) did well over the last year. Pfizer(PFE), IBM(IBM), and Comcast(CMCSA) actually decreased in value as well as others lower on the list I'm sure. Just goes to chow you people will take as much money as they can get regardless of what they are doing to get it.
No prob on the Diplo Laws.
AND
very very good point made about athlete salaries. Dont get me wrong I think Lee is a great baseball player. Is anybody that hits the ball with a stick worth 13 million a season? absolutely not.
I have no clue what Lee spends his cash on but I think your assertion that its not all going to charity and playgrounds is a safe one. The wage system in this country is seriously screwed up.
Ideally teachers, doctors, should be making the money that athletes make. You raise a very good point Laws. Always love some discussion.
