..... and some strong lessons can be learned from this "Babe"! The dollar's already lost 34% of its value since 2001. Can it get worse? Yes says Giselle Bundchen, a $30 million-a-year Brazilian supermodel who is demanding Pantene, an American cosmetic company, pay her in euros not dollars.
Why? "As Bloomberg News put it, the dollar can "only depreciate because Americans ... are living beyond their means." What irony, a model delivers an economic policy warning with more punch than all the currency threats from Iran, Venezuela and China. Gisele's lucky. She's bailing out of the "happy conspiracy." You can't. "

If you can get your elected official to 'splain to you how we have a Trillion Dollar$ in bad mortgages out there so soon after our last bail-out fiasco, please e-mail me and tell me his/her answer. I'll be damned if I can figure out why half of these high livin' yarbo's ain't in jail already or on their way to jail.....
Seemed like we had laws passed, appraiser requirements tightened and raised, integrity insisted upon....... and here we go again --- at the same time as we're strugglin' with soaring oil prices, war on terror expenses, and lack of a tax program that encourages savings! And a congress and president that are so busy peeing on each others leg's that they ain't got time to run the gov'mint!
It's time some voter's got off their duffs, rattled the phones and mails, and started refiggerin' what to do with their votes! I'm callin' and rattlin' --- are you?
