Old guy stuff.....good news and bad news.

The bad news first. I'm in subsidized housing for low-income seniors. The chimp cut Section 8 funding and increased Medicare costs, so our checks are going down and our rents are going up.

Now the good news. I went downstairs to check the mail and there were four of us old guys waiting. Three of us were wearing Kerry buttons, and the other one is voting for him too.


Like Randi Rhodes says, "Kerry in a landslide!"

2. God bless you
and your friends. From your lips (or keyboard) to God's ears, if you are so inclined.

May it come true, may it come true.

I am sorry about the housing situation. The chimp has been tough for all of us.

4. That's just not right...
When did the government decide it was ok to treat America's Seniors like second-class citizens? :grr:
