No one in their right senses would borrow from the mafia, and likewise, no one should leave an unpaid balance in a credit card. Anyone who does not pay the credit card monthly balance in full every month is a fool.

I suppose credit card pushers and bank pimps shouldn’t have to be accountable for their decisions about who they issue the plastic heroin to.

FINE PRINT, part 1:

Now just sign here and mail your payment to . . . BTW if you fall behind, your elected representatives are really OUR Quisling lobbyists so watch your asses and keep the payments coming or we’ll snap our fingers and we’ll get our Congress Whores to recriminalize debt.

Fitz! Am I really the first?

RIGHT ON Jane! As a 16 year breast cancer survivor, I couldn’t agree with you more.

(Hey, you were SO FUNNY yesterday – love your style of snark!)

Thanks, and congratulations. My first bout of breast cancer was in ‘93, so I guess I’m 13 years living with this. Really can’t thank Steny and the 302 members of the House who voted for the bankruptcy bill with no medical exception enough for their sensitivity. I’m lucky in that bankruptcy wasn’t anything I ever needed, but having lived through cancer twice the expense is outrageous and to tell the estimated 1.9-2.2 million people who do have to declare it as a result that they are being “irresponsible” when it’s nothing you ever have to worry about facing yourself takes some real fucking nerve.

Jane – sorry, I got sidetracked – hope this response isn’t too late. Thank you for sharing your personal story. Like you I didn’t have to file bankruptcy, but only because we were lucky – my husband and I were young, and we had good jobs with good insurance, thank heavens. In spite of that, we still spent lots of money on my care. I have no doubt we would still be digging out of debt 16 years later had we not been lucky and “responsible.”

I’m lucky, too, to still be here, able to gripe about it all. I think the whole experience reinforced my strong DEM beliefs.

Take care, stay healthy and THANKS again for your amazing work!

The hardest part for me was that I really, really only wanted to be alone

Teddy –

Me too! I pulled a serious Great Garbo.

Did light bother your eyes, too? I needed the blinds and curtains shut, tightly — and STILL put sunglasses on. The headache!

Seriously, that was the only time I felt so thoroughly horrible I thought death would be merciful.

Sounds like you’re describing what a migraine is like, for me, anyway. And for years I thought it was “stomach flu.”

Argentina confirms robbery of Bush daughter

Slightly Altered Excerpt: ABC News, citing unnamed law enforcement officials, reported on its Web site on Tuesday that Not-Jenna Bush had her purse and cellphone stolen while having dinner at a Buenos Aires restaurant.

Ct Bob, great minds…

Papi Bush doesn’t like to hear the truth. Testy, testy.

How difficult it must be for Bush the elder to have to face this sort of reception wherever he goes outside the US. Perhaps as difficult as having to face the fact that his eldest son is a highly defective person, a sociopath who has perpetrated on our country and the world a host of outrages of amazing proportions.

Typically, as they were when he was president, Bush the elder’s responses are lame and awkward. Note that the best he can say to the charge that the US’s aim in globalization is to enrich the US at the expense of other nations, is that the charge is “weird” and “nuts.” Hardly presidential remarks, but then he was not much of a president, either.

But given the ugly truth, what else could he offer in response, except for lies and non-sequiturs? He certainly can’t say, “Yeah my son is a class one fuckup, and I’m sorry.”

Oh, and the headline…..”takes on” critics? Hilarious. If that’s what he did, he got pummeled in Round 1 before the ref stopped the fight.
