Today is Monday, April 29, 2013. My stats today: 10 minutes of yoga, 10 minutes lifting weights and 54 minutes of walking = 3.0 miles for an April total of 57.1 miles. My weight was 162.4 pounds.
QUOTE from OUR IOWA magazine: "Worrying is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but it doesn't get you anywhere."
My THOUGHTS today have to do with how corporate America tried to buy the 2012 election. I subscribe to a pamphlet called The Hightower Lowdown. It is written by Jim Hightower, a former Secretary of Agriculture in Texas and now a lecturer, author and political activist.
His latest issue lists the political contributions of hundreds of American corporations to the Republican and Democratic Parties in the 2012 election. For the next week or two I will list the dollar contributions of each corporation and which party received the majority of that money.
First, I will list the name of the corporation;
Second, the dollar amount;
Third which party got the highest percentage of that money.
