I love jewelry. I have quite a collection of rings, necklaces, and watches. We don't need to talk about all the stuff my wife makes me buy her.

I have been shopping for a new Rolex and its great to walk into an upscale, snooty jeweler with Metallica shirt, jeans, boots, and a leather jacket and be ignored. Someone will usually end up coming over and asking if I need help. When I ask to look at a Submariner or Presidential they look at me funny, hesitate and finally bring it out. When I take off my Rolex to try on the new one a look of relief comes over their face.

We have been dealing with the same jeweler for the past 8 years and buy all our stuff from them and get our watches serviced by them. They are surprised when I come in looking respectable.

The Rats should do what they always do for failing programs, throw more money at them. I think they should try investing a couple of hundred million dollars in Err AmeriKa over the next few years. They also need people who are more leftwing than Franken to attract more Kucinich/Dean/Nader/Castro supporters.

I have a Casio, when it needs service I throw it away and buy a new one.
