[Rhodes22-list] Political- Caroline's disappointing day.

[Michael D. Weisner]

Brad,

The appointment of an interim Senator seems to be the least of the problems 
facing New Yorkers or those from the great state of Lincoln.  Have you heard 
what our esteemed governor David Patterson is proposing?  While fiscally 
responsible, I doubt that it will stimulate the NY economy, rather much the 
opposite.  My favorite line in his recent address discusses how the NY 
budget could increase from 8 billion dollars to nearly 16 billion dollars in 
the last two months!  Come on, how many hands are in my pockets now?

Be careful with the placement of and references to your pronouns - I'd hate 
to see your folks doing time for being pissed, although it might be all 
together possible in Chicagoland.
