God bless Rush Limbaugh but I did not need to see a painting of he and Obama’s rears when I opened my ping list. Honestly though, the taco headed underwear picture full of well endowed hispanic women and half naked men is actually a little more disturbing.

You Are Great With Money
You know the value of a dollar - and you save and spend wisely.
By living below your means, you've set yourself up for a rich future.
And while it may hurt to sacrifice now, you'll probably have plenty of money later on.
You're on your way to riches - just keep it up.
Are You Good With Money?
