(Column ~ 09/23/04)
The Associated Press for some unknown reason decided to poll Americans to determine if money did indeed make them happy. And though the results don't promise happiness with financial security, they do point the way to satisfaction. If you make over $75,000 annually you're much more likely - over twice as much - to be very satisfied with your life than if you make under $25,000 annually. But the AP poll is quick to point out that money alone is not the sole factor in the satisfaction survey...

I don't think the boy who got killed over there would appreciate his brother getting on TV and saying Bush sent him over there. He went on his own. I'm sure he volunteered for the National Guard. It's not like the boys who were in World War II. They didn't have a choice. They were drafted and sent to those foreign countries to fight and that was under Roosevelt and Truman. So I don't know why they're hollering about a Republican doing it...
