dis and dat and a new tooth
and that is why i didn't bet on louisville. i did bet on the tarheels to cover the 7 against ou and that was all for yesterday. for the tourney, i am ahead. also won again yesterday, but small. 13 out 14 is the streak since i moved to the venetian poker room and i'll take that.
if you come to vegas, go see LOVE at the mirage. best show in vegas. words fail me.
gotta go do stress test for my heart at the v.a. and then off to get my new tooth. glad i am getting it before i go on road. it is right there in front and i look weird. (not that i will look "good" when it is back in but ...)
LATER THIS DAY...
won again today after getting tooth. now i can smile without looking like someone out of DELIVERANCE. "squeal for me, boy, squeal like a pig". sorry.
a thought on a proposal that some congress people put forth about AIG where they were going to write a law and tax those bonuses at 90%. amazing how they could want to write a law just to get some people they DIDN'T LIKE. those men and women who were to get those bonuses did nothing illegal. their bonuses were guaranteed by contracts. regardless of how reprehensible they were, they still did nothing wrong. if congress had gone forth with this idea it would set a precedent where they could do it to anyone that crossed them. as dr. martin luther king said, "an injustice to one is an injustice to all." that is why the KKK will be supported by the ACLU (of which i am a dues paying, card carrying member), not because they agree with them but the rights of citizens apply to ALL citizens. we cannot pick and chose who has the right to free speech or the right of assembly. either we all do or none of us do.
but anyway, rock and roll
and
peace to us all.

You smoke pot and it's illegal.
The same folk who made pot illegal wrote other laws giving themselves disproportionate rewards off the backs of shareholders and workers. Nit picking about whats legal is hardly the point.
no, the point is that the government cannot just decide to TAX someone at 90% JUST BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT DOESN'T LIKE THEM.
those people getting the bonuses at aig did nothing illegal.
reading comprehension would help you.
