Titivation Report

It's the season for inviting folks over for  pre-Christmas gluttony, so I decided to clean the kitchen. I always do that when I notice  dirt old enough for kindergarten. One thing led to another, and I wound up repainting the whole &)*^*$# room.  White.  It looks pretty good but forced me into a rare New Year's Resolution. I hereby resolve to pay closer attention while frying bacon,  thereby igniting fewer grease fires.

Justice and General Motors

So this guy  Bernie  Madoff,  darling of NASD,  admits to stealing more than three times what the car companies and the UAW want to steal from the citizens this week.

Bernie's take was about $50 Billion. New York judges have been known to ship a raggedyass ghetto kid to Attica for 10 years for  swiping a 200-buck teevee set. Whaddya suppose Bernie will draw?

Fun With Statistics

.

Let's assume that Gov. Rod will  do a little prison time.

When that happens you will be able state accurately that 2 per cent of the nation's governors in office as of December, 2008, are incarcerated.  At the same time, 1 per cent of all Americans are graybarred for one offense or another.

Thus United States governors, as a class, are twice as criminal as the people they govern.
