Barney Frank? Did you say Barney Frank? In one of the Letters to the Editor  
in the latest issue of Out of the Closet Magazine, one insider sez that  
Barney's no Linda Lovelace! Go figure. 
 
And from our present implosion of the economy, he ain't much good as  
Chairman of the Senate Financial Oversight Committee.
 
IMHO, his performance as head of that committee has  turned out to worse than 
if Little Stevie Wonder was Robby Gordon's  navigator in the Paris-Dakar 
Rally. Let me put it this way, compared to his  effectiveness overseeing Wall 
Street and the Robber Barons, putting tits on a  suitcase sounds like a good 
idea!

Good question Charles - as  usual.  Um, my take? In the form of a rhetorical 
question, how many  times could Bill Gates cut his salary/wealth in half 
before it affects his  daily living?  Or some rock star or some hollywood 
nitwit or sports  figure?  How many times could I suffer the halfer before it 
affected  my life style?  OHhhhhh about none.  So there HAS to be a few  
bloated people, perhaps congress people, who CAN afford such a car - after  
all - - - don't THEY know wants best for the hoi  poli?
Onward
