94K is not the true cost; need to factor in lost income for return. Invest 1K a year and earn 10% each year, add another 1K on top of that each year, and you will have made over 7500 on your 10K investment after 10 years.

On most of this list...well paying taxpayer backed jobs.

I was audited by letter from an IRS office in Kanas City; I live about 1,000 miles from KC. Couldn't call the agent's desk number on the letterhead; it was a fax number, and the number listed as fax was disconnected. Calling the main number in KC ended up as a +20 minute hold; hung up.

Of course she's in denial. How many OJ fans are still in denial.

Lauer's like a frog; someone says "jump" he asks "how high". He has always passed himself off as a suck-up; embarrassing to see him try to act like a man. A 25 million contract? This from a guy who follows the basic liberal line that making money is a bad thing.

Other than its use as a raw material, gold is only worth as much as the next guy is willing to pay. Point in case, gold being sold at a premium as a "special minted coin", rather than the spot price for its purity/weight.  All the gold in the world will not buy a glass of water from another person in the middle of the ...more
