Leslie's Omnibus

Drive-Bys

Desert Cat linked to an article that stood my hair on end:

Democrats in the U.S. House have been conducting hearings on proposals to confiscate workers’ personal retirement accounts — including 401(k)s and IRAs — and convert them to accounts managed by the Social Security Administration.


Oh, HELL NO!

I'll cash those accounts out, take the tax hit, and stuff every single dime under my mattress before this happens to MY money.

Bend over and grab your ankles. The redistribution of wealth is just beginning.

It's going to be a LONG four years.

Walrilla strikes again.

(I'm thinkin' we might want to be gifting him with a bukkit of his own next time the BlownStar Blodgers get together. We can fill it with Shiner Bock, even.)

BlogHer '09 In Real Life

Much as I love my Boys in Blog, I'm thinking I just may have to attend BlogHer 2009, as I missed the last one held in my own back yard.

Since I won't want to miss a minute of the action, I'm thinking of booking a room. Anyone interested in sharing?
