Again ... thanks to Paint Shop Pro X2 ... please guys ... come up with something better than the President's "bailout plan"!

Okay ... okay ... I was wrong! Although we already are paying more than $650 billion to keep the Defense Department (and the Iraq and Afghanistan wars) going ... we really do need even more than that to keep the fat cats on Wall Street and all of the rest of us going too?

But I still say ...

NOT ONE DIME TO THE FAT CATS AS THEY POUR OUT THE DOORS!

But a request from us little guys ... as you continue to meet, Congressmen, Senators, Mr. President and presidential hopefuls, please also come up with an heroic salvation to this horrid mess that is both all-American in tone and doesn't leave the country in a deep freeze!

Is that asking too much?

(a question best left unanswered)

And also, hopefully, I won't have to use my Paint Shop Pro 2X layering, cut-and-pasting and washout art ever again.
