Only $2.5 Million????

So I'm watching the news yesterday and they're saying that Bernie Madoff will go to court today. I hope he gets the max for all of the people that he hurt. But what really got me was the bit about his wife Ruth.... apparently she *only* has $2.5 million left (poor her... huh??) and is now forced to take the subway rather than her limo??!! Really??? Poor Ruth (not!) What about those common folks like us who have never even looked inside a limo.... that might have $5 left to last us till the next paycheck which is over a week away.... been there... done that!!! You can't tell me that she had no idea what her hubby.... her best friend.... was doing. Oh and to *only* have $2.5 million.... lol... sometimes *we're* lucky to have $2.50.


And then it's on to Michael Jackson... they're doing further investigation into his death. I feel bad for his children and all that they will have to endure... and Lisa Marie Presley should know.... since her father Elvis lived and died similarly. I'm sure that Michael... like Elvis .... or his estate rather.... will make even more money after his death than he did in his life. They're talking about where to bury him and I agree that his Neverland Ranch would be a very fitting place.... since he really loved it so dearly.... but then they add that it would be a monetary venture... of course.... he has to keep earning money.... even though he's now dead... right??? Can we not just let someone rest in peace... even in their passing from this life... and remember them for the happy times they brought without trying to make more money off them? I guess not....

And then there was yet another celebrity passing.... things usually come in three's.... but here is #4.... famous pitchman Billy Mays died yesterday also at age 50. Now he's not a big celeb like Farrah... Ed McMahon or Micheal Jackson.... but most people think of him when they see those products he pitched... and I'm sure his family will miss him just as much as theirs will miss them.... he seemed like a very nice and normal guy who just happened to become well known for his selling techniques. Hopefully Billy, Farrah and Ed will be allowed to rest in peace... unlike Michael who must continue to work....


Well let's hope this week is a boring news week... all of these celebrity deaths are overshadowing the Iranian protests to their election sham.... and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan... and let's not forget dude over in North Korea who is out to get us...
