Piss away that money

WASHINGTON – The top 10 recipients of the government’s $700 billion financial bailout spent about $9.5 million on federal lobbying during the first three months of the year.

The biggest spender was bailed-out automaker General Motors Corp., which devoted $2.8 million to lobbying in the first quarter of 2009. It has received $13.4 billion in government loans and could get $5 billion more, according to a government report released Tuesday.

that my tax money is being used to lobby for GM is beyond comprehension

My internet interface would then be complete: website - blog - facebook ... until something else comes up...

They can pop up the banks with an endless stream of dollars, yens and euros

however, when the economy halts, who is going to save the countries that created the currencies. Who?

8 more weeks of school

2 more months and then we're done with school.
Kids have a 10 week break, teachers will have a 8 week break and have 2 weeks in August for training, room preparation and so on.
Teachers here don't get any money during the summer,luckily they pay us enough to save some dough to weather the summer time.

Busy

The last few weeks I have been working hard to get my real estate "thing" going.
I have a blog, a website and am posting some advertising on several websites.
I will not post a direct link to my r-e website or blog, because I don't want them to be interconnected.
However, typ my full name, first name first into Google and the 2nd link that pops up should be my website, the 4th is my blog. The first and third link about the pedophile with my name can be disregarded :-)
