...FreeRepublic and I found that they were running their quarterly beg-a-thon to support Jim's Winnebago. Two weeks later they are crowing that they are almost at 40% on their drive. Guess the banner will remain in place for a looooooonnnnnggggg time.

Ain't Karma a bitch, Jim?

3. That's actually quite a bit of money they collected. Do they

4. Hard to donate when you lose your job and there's no insurance
etc.

8. On top of that, when you're still living with your parents 10 years after HS graduation . . .
Mom keeps insisting on some damn help with the utilities, and that does take a bite from one's charitable inclinations . . .

10. They're still around?
I though they died years ago.

Save for 4-5 tough-talking alpha male wannabes pretending to be military vets.

11. It's hard to take much pleasure in it
since they have taken the rest of us in the country with them.

12. All that cutting edge programming can't be cheap.
