Mine's Mark Kirk, a relatively moderate Repub but one for whom I did not vote for in 2006 and will not vote for this year. I'm guessing he'll be re-elected, though, since he's got the entire North Shore rich-folks contingent to vote for him.
All this economy self-destructing stuff has me determined to continue socking money away even more than I was, which means that I'm going to stop the diet food after this week (I can't justify $120/week for food when I've got to learn to start cooking for myself, anyway).

My congressman voted against it. I've tried to go to his website to see why, but apparently www.house.gov's bandwidth is overloaded right now.

I wish the news would stop trumpeting the BIGGEST POINT DROP ever. It's still nothing comparing to 1987, where the market lost over 20% in one day.

ION, the day is almost over and while I have managed some work, not nearly enough. Personal things took up half my day.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sorta' like saying Titanic was the biggest grosing movie ever, when (adjusted for inflation) it's really Gone with the Wind.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, this is like how every movie is the HIGHEST GROSSING EVAR!! Well, sure, because movie tickets are more expensive this year. OK, it's nothing like that, really, but the point is: biggest in terms of numbers isn't necessarily biggest in terms of impact.

and as with most things, we are the voice of reason while much of the rest of the country is all OMGOMGing and pulling out their $500 from checking to sit on at home.
Heard about a guy who worked at Lehman closing out an account for over $10K the week they collapsed. He was robbed on the way home. Despite working in Finance he was afraid of letting his money sit there in an account. No trust in the FDIC.
