$2500 worth of equipment

So the bailout passed. My share of the bill is $2500. I plan on visiting a local branch of one of the Wall Street firms and collecting $2500 worth of equipment. It's only fair as I paid for it. Please join me in visiting a branch yourself and collecting what you have paid for and what is rightfully yours.

Actually, the more that I think about it, I may get $1250 from a Wall Street firm and $1250 from Lamar Smith, as he voted for the bailout despite the over-whelming objections of his constituents.

Bring your teaspoon. We're going to the ocean!

President Bush said today that failure to move on the bailout will "inflict painful and lasting damage". We should all listen to him. After all, if there's ever been an expert on inflicting "painful and lasting damage" to the United States, he's it.
