The only thing the 2 have in common are that they are Republicans and being a cowboy. Bush certainly ain't nothing like Reagan.

My dad, the TKE, voted for Reagan and he's typically a Democrat. I voted for Reagan once. I wasn't old enough to vote the first time he ran.

HECK NO.

4 years ago I had a good job, good benefits, and was making good money. Admittedly, I quit it at the end of 2000...but that was to go back to school full-time and finally finish my degree. (And the company was sold right before I left and promptly laid off about half my department so no guarantee I would have stayed employed had I not quit.)

Since I graduated in December 2001, I have been temping. At first I got assignments pretty steadily but of late they've been few and far between. The market is so flooded because of all sorts of businesses closing (most recently we lost a Sprint call center, leaving over 400 people jobless...we've lost a few other places that employed quite a few people) that even the temp assignments now require the agency to send over a bunch of candidate resumes and the company screens and interviews, just like if it was a permanent job.

Benefits? Steady money? Stability? Not here...

Yes. I just got promoted. :D

Today on Wall St.:

The major indexes rebounded strongly in a broad-based advance, prompted perhaps by strong earnings reports. The Dow gained 95 points, breaking through 11,900 for the first time and setting a new intraday record – 11,959 – and a new closing record: 11,947. The Nasdaq rose 37 points to a new 5-year high, and the S&P 500 gained 12, also reaching a 5-year high.
