YOU KNOW YOU'RE RETIRED when you spend more on gasoline for your lawn tractor than for your car.

BARNEY FRANK to (finally!) retire from Congress. His replacement on the House Financial Services Committee will be Maxine Waters (D-CA), assuming voters in California's 35th congressional district are foolish enough to re-elect her.

CORRELATION does not imply causation (but it sure is a hint to look around the cubicle walls).

HAVE A very Obama Christmas holiday.
