"Pic" of the week:
North Korea's wacko dictator Kim Jong Il is promising his starving people a giant bunny in every pot.
The government is studying plans to end its food shortage by breeding gigantic rabbits.
Diplomats from the North Korean Embassy in Berlin have approached big bunny breeder Karl Szmolinsky to help "feed the population," the Washington Post reported yesterday.
Kim, a hard-drinking, Elvis-loving communist, has relied on foreign food aid since natural disasters and mismanagement devastated North Korea's economy in the 1990s and led to a famine estimated to have killed 2 million people.
Szmolinsky has been breeding giant rabbits - some more than 20 pounds - since 1967 http://www.nypost.com/seven/02032007/news/worldnews/let_em_eat_bugs_worldnews_dareh_gregorian.htm

Thought for the Week:
"You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late." Ralph Waldo Emerson

How to keep more of your own paycheck
Credit Cards may be signing you up to pay!
Have you heard of "Buyer's Advantage?" Supposedly, it's a marketing program sponsored by certain banks and credit card companies that allows you to get discounts on merchandise. But that is a bunch of hooey. It's really an excuse for companies to remove money from their customer's accounts. Chase and Bank of America are soliciting for Buyer's Advantage and it's one of the worst schemes out there. The banks will send you a $10 check or "account credit" that signs you up for Buyer's Advantage. The problem is that when you sign and cash the check or take the credit, you are agreeing to pay an annual fee of $150 for nothing. The money is usually a small monthly deduction from checking accounts, and people just don't notice it. So, check your statements and if you see something questionable, dispute it right away!
Book lovers save money
I just discovered http://www.booksfree.com/ . They have an entire inventory of mass market paperbacks you can borrow for free by paying a monthly fee for shipping and handling of $6.99, which is less than the cost of one book. They'll ship you two books at a time. When you're done reading both (no due dates, no late fees ), return them in the pre-paid mailer they came in. Automatically you will receive the next two books on your reading list. It's just like Netflix, but for books!
And now, for this week's fun freebies!
