lwvanels (Lucien Van Elsen):
Let's recap: House Speaker Jim Wright resigned from office last May under
investigation for trying to evade limits on outside income. Financially, it
may have been the smartest move Jim ever made. These days he colects a
hefty federal pension plus about $200,000 annually in taxpayer funds to
maintain a Fort Worth office. And since the pension carries no limits on
other income, Jim is raking in the bucks. He maintains a busy speaking
schedule ($10,000 per appearance) and is negotiating a book deal. That's only
fitting. After all, it was a book deal that led to Jim's financial windfall
in the first place.

"Then you'll have to join the animators' union...modelers' union...

"The Hollywood Jumping Wall is now open!"
"Hmmm. Nothing here but that green boulder. Why don't we land on it?"
"You've gotta be fast to go around in my neighborhood with a green gown."
