   No, not true. The real big bastards like Ken Lay donated overwhelmingly to the Republicans. They donated some to the Democrats just so that they could say that they supported them but the Democrats main contributors have always been wealthy non-business individuals, LAWYERS, and labor unions and their members.

    I've been picking up some good bargains on E-bay lately but the local surplus market is getting to be just about non-existant. Most of the local surplus companies are having a tough time finding ANYTHING much less anything worth while. If this is happening all over the country, and I expect that it is, I expect that it will soon affect the amount and quality of stuff showing up on E-bay. Fortunately(?) I probably have enough junk around here to keep me occupied for the next 20 years!
