OT, But I got this Email-not sure if it’s true, or how to research it. Can anyone verify this. somehow? If not, then maybe I can get Charles to delete it:

Thanks Congress.

I wondered why they bailed out AIG, since its not a bank. I don’t know. Remember when this economic crisis hit, and Congress let Bear Sterns go under, and then pushed a bunch of Forced Marriages between Banks, etc.?

Then they bailed out AIG. At the time, I thought: “That’s strange. What does an insurance company have to do with this crisis?”
I think I just found the answer: AIG INSURES THE PENSION TRUST OF THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS ! No wonder they got bailed out right away! Our Senators and Congressmen said by their
actions, “To hell with the people, let’s protect our future”.

ISN’T IT NICE TO SEE WHERE THEIR LOYALTIES LIE !
