Who is he? He’s the Comptroller General of the United States, and he was on C-Span Friday morning. He told it like it is, with no holds barred. He said that our debts are $50 trillion (most say $70 trillion, but what’s $20 trillion?). He also said that when Bush took office, the debts were $20 trillion, Imagine that now. Dubya and his D.C. Gang have obligated America for $30 trillion more, in just six years. Some sort of record? He said that if something isn’t done in a couple of years, it’s all over, although he didn’t use those brash words. He said that 75% of our debts are being bought by foreigners, and if they get uneasy about the buck, it’s all over also. Let’s see now, I think that’s already happening, isn’t it? He said that Iraq will cost us a trillion dollars and it’s not even on the official budget. What he was really saying is that it’s hopeless and the presses will run ever faster as each year passes.

HEY GUYS, listen up. My wife’s a chiropractor, and years ago she told me that wearing one’s wallet in one’s back pocket is very bad for one’s back and spinal posture. It offsets things with that big thing being sat on with nothing to offset it on the other side. She says it’s responsible for a lot of back pain plus making wallets available for pick-pockets. So I began carrying my wallet in my side pocket, and presto. I felt a lot better. I mean a LOT BETTER. I didn’t have pain before, but it just made me feel a lot better. Maybe it was because I wasn’t off balance, I don’t know, but you really need to change that habit of keeping your wallet in your back pocket. It’s bad for your spine and unbalances it. Really! It’s also a lot more convenient when you want to check to see if you have it or want to get at it. Now have a great weekend, and change your ways. You won’t regret it.
DO NOT SEND ME A CHRISTMAS CARD!1 I hate them and it places a silly burden on the post office. I wish you all a merry Christmas right here and now, and see, it’s free! Some have asked me for the Puerto Rico coffee information ’cause it’s so good. E-mail me and I’ll send it to you.
