It's a millionaire welfare state out there now. The fed is giving AIG another $37 BILLION today. These are the same guys who partied at a resort AFTER that last handout from the fed! Does anybody else have a huge problem with this?Why aren't we hearing about all the billions that were given to the automakers? And the extra $140 BILLION that put into the bailout just so our Washington "leaders"

I gotta tell you - I was scared to watch the landing for the shuttle today. I did not have confidence in NASA's decision to bring the shuttle back without repairing the ding from the lift-off. Thank goodness they made it back safely! I think that was a billion dollar gamble, and THIS TIME, NASA won!

I've noticed a lot of young male motorcyclists on my commute recently. First, I think it is pretty senseless to ride a "crotch-rocket" wearing shorts, and t-shirt, and no helmet. But what really bothers me is the number of these hot-shots that have their girlfriends/wives riding on the back with no helmet or protective clothing. If you truly love these women, why would you subject them to

On May 30th, I completed my first year in the internal audit department at TD Banknorth. I think I've learned quite a bit, but still have a long way to go to feel like I totally know what I'm doing. This is the first job I've ever done that I don't feel like I'm in total control of my environment - a great learning experience.

We've heard for the last few months in Maine that we want a change - so what do we do? We re-elect the icumbent Governor. Way to go citizens of Maine! Apparently the vast majority of people that voted for Baldacci have some hidden stores of cash set aside to pay the absurd taxes we have levied upon us.
