According to the LA Times:
Geithner's financial disclosure filing released Tuesday showed he has assets valued at $740,000 to $1.7 million. His biggest asset is partial ownership of property on Cape Cod in Massachusetts valued at $250,000 to $500,000.
That sum looks pauper-like next to predecessor Henry Paulson's $700 million estimated net worth.
I would probably guess YOUR own net worth is close to Geithner's - unless you are actually mega-rich yourself.
I wish you had shown photos of your parking spaces. That would have been very eye-opening.
It was such a wonderful experience actually participating in a primary (actually a caucus) that counted for a change - and voting for a local boy, too! The lines were endless, the ballots ran out, confusion was rampant, but the enthusiasm and cooperation were amazing. With the golden moon shining in a balmy sky, it was a beautiful night all around. I'm hoping we surpass Washington D.C. with our margin of victory. Go Obama!
Salon writes about letter writers' negative reaction: "this is so obviously not about Rebecca Traister or Salon."
This is what Salon wants to think, but that does not make it true.
I read this article only after hearing from my sister about how insipid it was. She was right.
What a shallow, silly article that does the very thing it "investigates" - fixating on a media-pumped fixation, and in the process adding nothing more than a few worthless quotes from fawning print writers and analysis about as deep as toenail polish.
Furthermore, it goes on to trash a woman and a man who have committed the crime of trying to help the children and the poor of the world. Gee, guess that wasn't the best career move.
So don't turn the blame for this negative response to Traister's article to some kind of "anti-Jennifer fixation." This was a stupid article - unworthy of what I expect of Salon - plain and simple.
