I was ragging on the media for not saying what his background was that he was able to be rich and have deep pockets. Frankly, I don't mind our reps being rich, so long as they represent us working stiffs reasonably well. When they're rich on their own, they're usually less likely to be bought by some other folks who ARE rich. That being said, Jim still ain't hurting. But, if his salary is approximately what the Journal Star reported today, then I know how he pretty much got that way. I also would bet he comes from a few bucks, as well. 11Bravo, truly I was not ragging on Jim McCono-whatever because he was reported to be rich and with deep pockets.

I simply doubt that this is the case, however. If he is that heavily invested in one or two stocks, then you are right. I simply doubt that this is the case, however.

Though I would always find it preferable to make a grammatical error over an error of nuclear proportions :). But I always hate being wrong...thanks for the humble pie, Eyebrows. I stand corrected.
