Homer: Musical instrument? Could that be a way to encourage a gifted child? [to the heavens] Just give me a sign! [At that moment, the store owner happens to put a sign in the window reading "Musical Instruments: The Way To Encourage A Gifted Child".]
Lois: You don't think I'd sacrifice this one? Let me explain something to you. I would sell Malcolm down the river in a heartbeat to save Reese. Malcolm's gonna be fine no matter what happens... Reese is the one who needs saving.
There was a post on/. where DUI charges were dismissed because the manufacturer of a breathalyzer refused to release source code. Does anyone know why a similar principle can't be used in elections when irregularities have been found?
I was in a similar situation I was getting more money in school loans than I needed, and at the time I was immediately paying back the loans. But then one day in the run up to the 2004 Presidential election, I saw a documentary on Bush's history in the oil business. While working for Harken, an oil company, Bush accepted huge loans, as a member of the board of directors, with low interests and then invested the money. I realized I was in exactly the same situation, the interest rate on my loans was around 2%. And I could continue to defer the loans so long as I was in school even into graduate school and internships with the government paying the interest they have acquired after my graduation. Wanting the safest investment with the highest return I decided to put them into mutual funds, essentially collections of stocks. At the start of each semester I invested in a different fund to further my diversification. The funds I chose have done well making about 20% overall (this year has been unkind) and I was lucky enough to buy a natural resources fund before the price of oil started to spike that has earned about 60% to date. Given a three day window, I can sell a part or all of a fund and have access to the money.
