Secret ! Confidential, Private...and NOYDB

I got my EYE on you...
Baby
I got my "I" on you

"Raped by a bunch of carnival carney's"...the quote of the day from "The Daily Show" as to what has been done to the U.S. public by our current commandos in Washington.

Ah ha! that is about how I felt this week hearing about Exxon's retiring officer Lee Ramond receiving an exit package worth $389 million dollars. What???? That wouldn't add dollars to our gasoline prices would it?

Most Americans are now surfing the net daily to find the current best gasoline price at their nearby service station, hoping to not waste 5 gallons of gas, to find 5 cents off the cheapest price in town. We are down to that now. We aren't wined and dined by lobbyists - we don't belly up to the oyster bar daily - much less weekly.

Our thrills mostly fall in the area of 10/10 prices at the food store, and holding our breath when the electric bill arrives. Yaill to the Chief! There's not a lot remaining of what had been the U.S. I know - I grew up here.
