Sorry 'bout that, but the 85 billion AIG bailout bothers me about 1/10th of the amount of the recent bailout, passed and signed into law on Friday.

It passed because about 150 billion in pork was added to the initial 700 billion in order to get enough votes to pass it (that is what the congressional leaders call 'hard work').

Ah, well, it's only money. When the dollar collapses, we will all revert to the barter system and life will go on.

Back to my wine break!
