Dear God! We wouldn't even allow #'s 15-50 in our homes, other than to clean that is. Anything under $10 billion is nothing more than common trash. We have our standards. |

I'm shocked at Michael Bloomberg. I had no idea he was so wealthy. Ellison gives me the creeps (I'm sure he's up nights worrying about that) and Sheldon Adelson financed Newt's Presidential run. There seems to be so much wealth confined to so few people. Not good. |
