Score One More for the Democrats

I received a call from my Congressman's office today. He's a Republican, by the way. Anyway, his aide told me that the recent 13 week extension is all that they plan to do to help the unemployed. That pretty much ticked me off.

He went on to say that Illinois has the 4th highest unemployment rate in the country, and qualifies for an additional 13 week extension on top of the recently passed 13 week extension, making it a 26 week extension. Still with me? This additional extension relies on the State Legislature passing a motion or bill, which they are supposed to attempt to do in February. Illinois' governor is a Democrat.

I'm putting my faith and hopes in Illinois' state government. Hopefully, they will make it retroactive for the people whose benefits expired on Dec. 28th.

As for me, I received a letter Monday telling me that I'm still qualified for benefits, for the time being. That was a God-send.

There are two sorts of laws, those of absolute equity and universality, and the bizarre ones which owe their autonomy only to blindness or to the force of circumstance.

Philosophy, beginning in wonder ... is able to fancy everything different from what it is. It sees the familiar as if it were strange, and the strange as if it were familiar. It can take things up and lay them down again. Its mind is full of air that plays round every subject. It rouses us from our native dogmatic slumber and breaks up our caked prejudices....A man with no philosophy in him is the most inauspicious and unprofitable of all possible social mates. by casino games

You should tip the waiter $10, minus $2 if he tells you his name,
another $2 if he claims it will be His Pleasure to serve you and
another $2 for each special he describes involving confusing terms
such as shallots, and $4 if the menu contains the word fixin's. In
many restaurants, this means the waiter will actually owe you money.
If you are traveling with a child aged six months to three years, you
should leave an additional amount equal to twice the bill to compensate
for the fact that they will have to take the banquette out and burn it
because the cracks are wedged solid with gobbets made of partially
chewed former restaurant rolls saturated with baby spit.

In New York, tip the taxicab driver $40 if he does not mention his
hemorrhoids.
