| 2013/2/10-3/19 [Politics/Domestic/President/Bush, Uncategorized/Profanity] UID:54603 Activity:nil | 2/10 I like Woz, and I like iWoz, but let me tell ya, no one worships
him because he has the charisma of an highly functioning
Autistic person. Meanwhile, everyone worships Jobs because
he's better looking and does an amazing job promoting himself
as God. I guess this is not the first time in history. Case in
point, Caesar, Napolean, GWB, etc. Why is it that people

\_ Yes, and it was written about Jerry Brown. I was thinking this
as I cast my vote for Meg Whitman. I am independent, but I
typically vote Democrat (e.g., I voted for Boxer). However, I
can't believe we elected this retread.
\_ You voted for the billionaire that ran HP into the ground

Has it been declared that we didn't find WMD in iraq? (think so).
So why did we go into iraq (what was the gain), and if nobody really
knows, why is nobody looking for the reason?
\_ Political stability, military strategy (Iran), and to prevent
Saddam from financing terrorism.

actual deal between Kim and Obama is:
- Both agree that Kim needs to save, or gain, face to pave the way for
his son's succession and for NK's stability.
- Both agree that Obama doesn't like losing face by publicly
apologizing.

failure. Especially when those rewards are subsidized by US taxpayers."

| 2010/3/2-12 [Politics/Domestic/SocialSecurity] UID:53735 Activity:nil | 3/1 My sister works for the county and pays into CalPERS instead of
Social Security. This year she got a second (private sector) job
which paid more than her government job and paid into Social
Security. Does she have to contribute to both retirement plans?
That seems like a waste. I STFW and cannot find the answer.
\_ You don't pay into CalPERS if you don't have a public sector job.

should be doing with it. She's 70 and we gotta put the money
where it is safe (no stock market, no 401k). What are some good
choices to make now, considering that the US economy is failing
and the banking industry is fubar?
\_ I would buy another fixed annuity with enough of it so that

me to his house and gave me an advice that I never really thought
about until recently. It was dead simple, and had nothing to do
with what I was studying-- if you ever buy houses in California,
DON'T SELL THEM. Keep them around, because in time, property tax
will be so low that it'll take an act of stupidity to sell them. As
