I just read this over at Salon, compiled from data from the Congressional Budget Office:
The average after-tax income of the richest one percent of households rose from $722,000 in 2003 to $868,000 in 2004, after adjusting for inflation, a one-year increase of nearly $146,000, or 20 percent. This increase was the largest increase in 15 years, measured both in percentage terms and in real dollars. In contrast, the income of the middle fifth of the population rose $1,700, or 3.6 percent, to $48,400 in 2004. The income of the bottom fifth rose a scant $200 (or 1.4 percent) to $14,700.
But we have a strong economy, our president said so just last night!
Yeah, right.
Nah. Much too bouncy to stay there for long.
OK, someone go put a tether on Lee.
(The horse/hoarse split is the thing where four and store are pronounced as fo-ah and sto-ah, sort of.)
I don't know about that, really, but it does remind me of something funny that I heard: a coworker from MA was telling a story of her childhood, and started off saying the mean girl called her "lame," someone else said, "Is that really what she said? Back then?" And the coworker admitted that what she really called her was "quay-ah." Which, of course, was the insult of my day -- queer ala EMass.
queer ala EMass.
Heh. There was an episode of SNL where Matt Damon was hosting, and there was a skit where he was doing a really exagerated accent, and somehow managed to get about four syllables into the word "queer." (Quee-ay-yuh-uh, sort of.)

Handcuffs ok? Or some leather?

Oh yeah, I can totally do that. NOT THAT I WOULD. Please don't send me away!
You

I was thinking of a kiddie leash.

Is that like leashing a minor? I can help with tips.
