McCain and Sarah "I can see Russia from my House!" Palin.

Not only did Palin lie, she was in fact partly or wholly responsible for the failure of the effort she now claims credit for. She's a cheeky monkey donchaknowit youbetcha!

At the heart of the scandal was Keating's Lincoln Savings and Loan Association, which took advantage of deregulation in the 1980s to make risky investments with its depositors' money. McCain intervened on behalf of Charles Keating with federal regulators tasked with preventing banking fraud, and championed legislation to delay regulation of the savings and loan industry -- actions that allowed Keating to continue his fraud at an incredible cost to taxpayers.

Since it's obvious that you have little training as an electrician. I would recommern hiring one, instead of some friend or handyman, to repair and upgrade your home's wiring. You will probaby need some breakers replaced and added (if you have the old screw-in fuses, spend the money to replace them with breakers) and probably a ground check as well. If the capacity or grounding is screwed up, you run a high risk of becoming Boiled Tea. (Or is is Broiled?)
Having experience in electricity, I can tell you that stuff scares me to precaution!

Be careful there, Jay. Casa de Fatman was gutted by an electrical fire in a light switch in my mother's bedroom. According to the fire marshall, it smoldered behind the wall for several hours before it finally flared up. Fortunately no one was home--Mom was out playing bingo. So I guess bingo isn't just midnight basketball for the Geritol set.

Hey Jay,
Just so you don't go hungry tonight, you can use this while blasting music from the Pale Whale (Shaggin' Wagon).

Electronics are powered by smoke, which is imprisoned in them. If you let the smoke out, your stuff will stop working. Prison maintenance is very important for electronics.
