We have wheelchairs and walkers we were planning on donating locally, but if you find a good way to ship them we would be more than willing to donate them to you for your son's Eagle Scout Project (my cousin is an Eagle Scout as well).

Just let me know -- we are in WI.

Thank you,
Kelly

SEC Accuses Sam And Charles Wyly, Billionaire Dallas Investors, Of Insider Trading Yielding $550 MILLION


DALLAS ? Sam and Charles Wyly, Dallas billionaire investors known for their support of conservative candidates and causes, made $550 million in undisclosed profits through 13 years of insider trading, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission lawsuit filed Thursday.

In a 78-page complaint filed in a Manhattan federal court in New York, the SEC said the Wylys held and traded tens of millions of shares in companies on whose boards they served and "defrauded the investing public" by misrepresenting their ownership and trading of those stocks.

"The apparatus of the fraud was an elaborate sham system of trusts and subsidiary companies located in the Isle of Man and the Cayman Islands ... created by and at the direction of the Wylys," the SEC complaint stated. Web Page

So true, when our kids were in High School..they're in their mid to late 30's now...they'd get called White Bitches by the Black girls..but let one of mine call a Black girl a Black Bitch and all fucking shit would have broken out. And, yes, in a 60% Hispanic city of 1.8 million there's the Mexican-American Young Lawyers Assoc, etc..

You get the idea, and it's frustrating being a Liberal in the Big State, because the feelings I get if I so much hint at an anti Hispanic or Black person in a less than "Good to see you..how you doin' way?" I'm considered a racist. Maybe I don't feel cheery and I'm not going to falsify my mood lest I be perceived a RACIST. Fuck 'em all. I'm going to go watch Woody Allen.



Try it living on a Indian reservation. I'm surprised I didn't get killed instead of just kicking their ass. I wasn't racist in the least, until after that shit. And thats after growing up around the Rose Bud Res. and seeing all of that. And that leads into tossing the race card any time to disagree with the POTUS. It's destroying what real harm racisim does.

As for the Tea Party stuff, the left has to do something to dull the edge. It's growing, and they don't know what to do but make it the boogie men. And the the right thinks they are on their side, and that should provide some entertainment this year and in '12. Both parties are clueless. Shara Palin as the next Hitler makes me LOL.

Terabyte externals for under $100 with cases. Cheaper than backing up on CD's or DVD's. Bleeding edge is so freakin' fun.
