ReplyDeleteNow the feds have apportioned a chunk of money for the relief, and all I can think is, how much of it will actually go to the relief, and how much will get stolen by interest groups, contractors snapping up contracts noncompetitively, etc.?
Anyway, yeah, you put words to what I was feeling (re that spam). It seemed like the spammer was taking advantage of the tragedy.
Okay, I’m 17,100 printed pages of inkjet paper high. And, um, speaking of “high” Kate…what have you been up to, my dear? And are you sharing? LOL A most intriguing and unusual post, indeed. ;-)
