I give as much as I can any time of the year.

Seriously, yes. I'm with Andini on this one, charity is not seasonal, you give what you can year around, be it time, money, food, clothing or what ever.

On a lighter note, RoeDy's House of Paranoia and Charity Funds is now taking donations. If everyone would donate $5, $25, $500, or $10,000 or however much (more) you can afford, Ole RoeDy personally guarantees (unintelligible) percent will go to the charity of your choice, (in my name of course) and you can be happy knowing you have made me a rich and happy dude.

Freely and of thy own volition.

To hell with the Twinkies. It's those cupcakes that I'll miss.

It is crucial to have "the guy" at the liquor store. He's the one that fronts you booze when you're broke.

17% of all jobs now are "government". My recently delivered property tax statements reflect the increase, even though the value of my home has decreased. Calculating the total taxes I pay on income, property, sales, hidden (fuel, rubber, alcohol, etc.) I am now paying in excess of 54% of my income in taxes. And the b@stards only want more.
