SMJ: I'm still waiting for the cash for every one of my prior reviews. Who sends it again? Mike: School vouchers? You're better off producing a car in the next few days and tapping that keg 'o cash. Greg: Does anyone else notice the resemblance between Paulson and Joe the (non) Plumber? Roberts: Lemme see - $billion bailout or handful of dries? I'm going for the cash. Stalk: Thrift Supervision ranks right up there with jumbo shrimp, and the level of oversight provided by both is about the same. Don: You mean Ted Kaczynski, don't you?

I was greatly pleased because the application link you provided has (on the first page, item #4) a link to the government agency I was worried we didn't have, but thank goodness we do: Office of Thrift Supervision. So everyone can just take a deep breath and relax, everything is under control because your hard earned tax $ are being supervised for thrift. Thank you for the post Tom.

I have no idea why. Merry Christmas and may the trout gods smile on all of us this coming year. Every time I see a picture of Hank Paulson, I can’t help thinking of Lurch. I have no idea why.

Thanks for the laugh! At $700 Billion, the trough is big enough for all. Seriously though, I have convened the Board of Directors of Living With Bird Dogs and we have decided on a slightly different tack. We are applying for eligibility under the eventual school voucher program, as a legitimate educational resource. Since most upland bird hunters are also fly fishers, we might take a leaf from your book, and go for a double dip. Will keep you posted. Tom…

You might want to brew up a nice pot of tea. Looks like company is headed you’re way.
