We will find no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow this St. Patty's Day
Just a big fucking I.O.U. from the rest of the world as they hold the gold watching the price go up. I fear that Monday, March 17, 2008 will be a turning point in the american economy where our currency and our trust will be worth nothing.

Sow the wind, reap the world-wind. Justice is a beautiful thing.

4. My grower buddy just showed up from a successful season in N. Cal.
It's not a "pot of gold" but it's real good pot for St. Paddy's Day.

9. Thanks For The Laugh!!
They'll have a stack of certificates. 99 Cents Each Share.

But what happens when it becomes a penny stock, and even the 99 cent store can't sell the shares....errrrr....Worthless Pieces Of Paper.

12. Ever hear the one about the Irishman who got three wishes?
A leprechaun offered him three wishes. First thing he asked for, naturally, was a bottle of beer that would refill itself once he finished it.

Done! Next wish?

Two more just like it.

Kind of like W.'s predeliction to keep starting wars.
