"By the time I feed my family, I have maybe $400,000 left over to invest."
— Rep. John Fleming, a small business owner whose children range in age from 21 to 32, on the travails of a tax increase given his net income of $600,000

in happier news, are you going to be at Oktoberfest tomorrow? ^_^

Yup, got my ticket! Probably going to do yoga, go to the petrogyphs for photography, then lunch at Suenos before going to the Fest.

Meant to mention: probably no Russet, she's working tonight so tomorrow will be a sleep all day day.

The guy owns like 30 Subway franchises. Jon Stewart had a lot of fun ripping on him on I think it was Thursday night's show.
