First order of business: Gardner thanks all of you who have sent cards and e-mails, messages in facebook, and who visited the memorial service in honor of his mom. It was a terrific gathering, and went off smoothly. All who attended showed great affection for a great woman. Thank you.

Now, onto the fight against gubment oppression and economic sophistry!

Take a look at this one, kids. And enjoy the fruits of your labor while the politicians plan things with what you make! Hank Paulsen is your FRIEND, FRIEND.... Remember that now.

And, finally, Congress is going to re-evaluate the 700 billion Dollar bailout... to inject MO Money, MO Money, Mo Money! Phew! For a minute there, I thought they might actually do something Constitutional and economically correct! Boy, aren't you glad they're doing what we expect them to do -- screw things up again?
