One of the most impressive women I've ever known came out with this book recently, and I'm sure it's worth a read. I should get it myself!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Anyone else think Suzi should take a look at the international sector?
The guy on the Daily Show blew my mind. As appalling as his racism is, I'm more amazed that he basically bragged about suppressing Democratic votes. ON camera.

Much patience-ma. Remember, you'll get money out of it if you wait.
