A billionaire who wants to help billionaires make more money and a guy in close touch with lobor unions. Which of these people has my interests, as a common person, in their minds? Probably neither, but I can sure as hell say it isn't the billionaire.JeevesTheHitmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17525296168035504184noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-380635656181795432.post-75414072743083915142010-09-28T15:14:00.000-07:002010-09-28T15:14:24.725-07:00A couple more I decided to post a couple more coins.

I'll just post whatever and see what works and what doesn't.<br />
<br />
Anyhow, here is my pet spider. He lives in my front room and eats all of the flies and things that come in through the front door. For that I truly appreciate it.<br />

Here are some pictures:<br />
