I just received the $35 tablet from Amazon...

here's the thing-the fricken' thing works! Now I am really not a techie and have never had another tablet to compare it to. Since I do have Amazon prime I can stream or download their content which means entertainment even out of wi-fi range. It comes with a browser that seems to work okay and apps that will take me weeks to get through. The thing is that for $35 I've got a nice sized unit I can put in my glove compartment and never be more than the nearest McD's from the net. Now a bunch of smart DUer's could tell you a pile of technical stuff that they understand a lot better than i can but I'll say this-for the price I am floored. I ordered on Thursday and got them (I actually purchased 2) this afternoon. I see on the add that they now are waiting for a shipment due on Dec. 20th so i'm not sure about delivery in time for Christmas. the link has a ton of info and reviews...

Clinton's Middle Class is really Rich People...

What she says is she will not raise taxes on people making less than 250K because they are middle class. You can check it but 250K puts you in the 99% of income earners and even 200K is a 98% income.

I feel bad because people I like who make that kind of money tell us how in certain areas-LA or San Diego or even places like Westport Connecticut 250K is Middle Class.

It ain't. The fact you make a number that looks like a Klondike strike to a normal person in most of America and still times are hard don't mean shit. 50K is both normal and a place I had to work hard to get to. And now I must live on the 14K which is my SS life.

I can live in a quiet place on cash she would find a joke-that is OK. The only twist is this-she says that both I and people who get 250K have the same interests.

If you make that 250K a year though, you better get this-what you make for a year she and Bill make per speech
