Shoving it all into the pot! . . . (end of title)
In fact, I'll bet ALL MY MONEY!!!
Lessee, let me add it all up . . . there are ten items to total . . . okay, that's $1.47 baby! YEAH!
Everything else is "our" money.
You see, I'm a SITH. For the force-impaired, that's Single-Income-THree-kids. And that already-spread-out money, being in the D.C. area gets very little "bang for the buck", according to CNN today -- only worse place in the U.S. is New York.
Back in our DINK days, I could buy stuff! I once paid $400 to have my picture taken with Wayne Gretzky. The very idea of doing that these days, is just, well, seemingly uh whatever that word is that means being so rich that you throw money away on stupid decadent stuff.
You do have me thinking, tho, about financial support of sites I want to still exist when D3 comes. (There are two.) Perhaps the standard contribution should be a nickel for each forum post? :P
NOW ABOUT THE BET ---- we probably have different standards as to what qualifies. My crystal ball has some attack against Americans somewhere in the world and, this is the crucial part, some GOP arse pipes up that the event shows that the terrorists want us to vote for Democrats and we would be safer with McCain and the GOP then with the Democrats. THAT is my prediction. I'm sorry if I made it sound like "Pakistanis, in the kitchen, with the lead pipe." To me the location and degree of the attack is immaterial, the certainty is what we'll hear from some fearmongering GOP or GOP mouthpiece. This has been happening for at least 36 years, so I'm not really on going out on a <strike>lamb</strike> limb.
