Call It A Comeback
Great idea from comments. Now that we all own an insurance company–can we get some extra insurance company swag?
One vote for Titleists
One vote for a new Road Atlas since mine was in the car when it flooded. What other insurance company swag items should we all get?
And I spent my early life promising myself to never be involved in the insurance industry after growing up in an insurance town.
“This is a hard decision for me personally because frankly I don’t like him,” she said of Obama in an interview with CNN’s Joe Johns. “I feel like he is an elitist. I feel like he has not given me reason to trust him.”
Forester is the CEO of EL Rothschild, a holding company with businesses around the world. She is married to international banker Sir Evelyn de Rothschild. Forester is a member of the DNC’s Democrats Abroad chapter and splits her time living in London and New York.
I’m pretty sure that last paragraph defines elitist.
Yes, that’s an understatement:
Megan Cummins, a shiatsu therapist from Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood, said that at one party her children hesitated to share a drink box with the infected toddler, who had a runny nose and was covered in spots.
“My kids were sort of repulsed,” Cummins said. She said her two older children attended three parties but never got infected. She still hopes to get them infected, but said that at times the parties felt awkward.
“Once I realized I was driving to Oak Park from Hyde Park to be at a complete stranger’s house and share their germs—that’s a little weird,” she said.
There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one’s safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn’t, but if he was sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn’t have to; but if he didn’t want to he was sane and had to. Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle.
“That’s some catch, that Catch-22,” Yossarian observed.
“It’s the best there is,” Doc Daneeka agreed.
Nothing like waking up in the morning with water up to the porch and your garbage cans floating down the driveway.
I know the basics to keep flooding and stuff under control–more looking for just good tips to make it easier.

Remember the mention of the buttons about Sarah Palin skipping out on the Special Session?
Palin has spent little time in Juneau, rarely coming to the state capital except when the Legislature was in session, and sometimes not even then.
During a recent special session called by Palin herself, she faced criticism from several legislators for not showing up personally to push for her agenda.
Someone at the Capitol even printed up buttons asking “Where’s Sarah?”
Rep. Andrea Doll, D-Juneau, called it a telling question.
“At a time when her leadership was truly needed, we didn’t know where she was,” Doll said.
Here they are:
Maybe the press should start wearing them…
Not from the guy you want it from..
But Blagojevich, who said he spent two summers after high school working on the Alaska pipeline, readily defended the executive experience that governors have in contrast to legislators when it comes to being presidential material.
“I would hope the Democrats wouldn’t say that about a governor,” Blagojevich, a former state legislator and congressman, told O’Dell of criticism that the first-term Palin lacks experience.
“The reality is, governors every day have to make decisions for better or for worse. That’s part of the job. It’s an executive position. And it’s a position that is like what you’re going to do when you’re president. Legislators, they do different things. They debate and they pass their bills back and forth,” he said.
“But governors make decisions, and I think it’s a tactical mistake for the Democrats to question Gov. Palin’s experience when she’s been a governor of a state,” he said. “I don’t think the size of the state is relevant. It’s the kinds of decisions you have to make as governor. They (Democrats) should focus on the issues and why the policies of President Bush ought to be changed and I think that’s what will help Obama win.”
