[s-cars] Re: Don't Believe Everything That You Read

[William Noland]

Sorry for the WOB, but the widely distributed email on congressional
pensions simply is not true. The Office of Personnel Management --
www.opm.gov, has the 411 on federal government benefits, if you're
interested. Congress does pay FICA and does contribute a small amount
towards retirement. You can't believe everything you read in the
newspaper -- you sure as hell can't believe everything you read in your
basic pass-it-along widespread web email. Now back to our regularly
scheduled programming -- AUDI's.

BTW -- did you know that Ferdinand Piech has been secretly funneling
money to Hussein in support of his chemical warfare efforts? It's true!
Don't buy cars from the Volkswagen Audi Gruppe! Pass it on to your 10
closest friends! Er, never mind, I just made that up.
