Online poker is something I did because I made money at it and enjoyed it. There was a whole lot I did that isn't on my resume. And, by the way, my resume is excellent, thanks.

And, as I've said, I'm working two jobs.
Then you should be happy.

Gee, I guess since Obama gets blamed for everything, the Tea-Partiers should be thanking him that they have jobs, eh?

Not under the table. There are a lot of programs for disabled to get back to work if it is just part time. There are plenty who aren't scamming the system out roofing houses while collecting benifits too. Some actually are disabled. I would think I'd be bored outta my mind if I was disabled and sat around all day doing nothing.

The wallstreet protesters are placing sole blame on business and banks, and leaving out protest of government specially the democratic party because they won't admit that their party is part of the problem also.

Maybe the day will come when both realize that their sides have positive attributes but also corruption also. In the meantime nothing will really change until then
When and if both sides join together then the 1% will become very scared and things will have to change in favor of the 99% of Americans....
