Bush has set the date when he'll sign the bill, Oct 13th. Until then, ads are back at BlackjackInfo.com, under the "Make hay while the sun shines" theory.

On the lighter side Cajun logic sells insurance... Boudreaux's first military assignment was to a military induction center, and, because he was a good talker, they assigned him the duty of advising new recruits about the government benefits; especially the different GI insurance to which they were entitled. Before long the Captain in charge of the induction center began noticing that Boudreaux was getting a 99% sign up for the top GI insurance. This was odd, because it would cost these poor inductees nearly $30.00 per month more for higher coverage than what the government was already granting. The Captain decided that rather than ask Boudreaux about his selling techniques, he would sit in the back of the room and observe Boudreaux's sales pitch. Boudreaux stood up before his latest group of inductees and says, "If you have da normal GI insurance and go to Iraq and get killed; da government pays your family $6,000. If you take out da supplemental GI insurance (which cost you only $30.00 a month); the government has to pay your family $200,000. "NOW," Boudreaux concluded, "Which bunch do you think dey gonna send to Iraq first?"
