Tough Week

Thinking back, this has been one hell of a week. Here's a quick review of some of the worst:

1. AIG executives homes are terrorized by ACORN-incited populist hordes
2. The House votes to tax AIG bonuses at 90% to "get back" taxpayer money
3. Treasury Secretary asks for broad new powers to nationalize whatever financial institutions he wants to, and to set guidelines for ALL financial executive compensation
4. EPA issues a "finding" that carbon dioxide is a "pollutant" and can be regulated under the Clean Air Act
5. Both houses of Congress pass mandatory "National Service" laws

On top of that, Earth Hour is tomorrow. Did I miss anything else?

Oh, and my daughter's woolly bear caterpillar, the one she named Isabella because it would turn into an Isabella Tiger Moth, died today. She was very distraught, and after crying for some time, asked her mom, "Can we make her a gravy?" (grave) So we'll be having burial services for Isabella. Really, it's a death like this that puts everything into perspective.
