Dear Family,

Did you know that this week is Universal Letter Writing Week?

The Crayola site has some cute activities for children to do.

The presidential primaries will be the focus of much
of your radio and television news features. If you
don’t want to listen to all the fluff, or don’t have

the patience to watch all the posturing, the Internet
is a great place to help you get to the heart of the
information and to really find out more about the
candidates and their issues.

Read all about the Buying of the President – and their

fundraising activities and sources – the spoils of
winning the presidential wars and the history of the role
of money in the elections.

Moving on to more fun stuff, today’s Money Funny is the

actual, honest to goodness, 2008 Darwin Awards.
This is the real McCoy, not just the stuff working its
way around the Internet. And you’ll find a link to the
Darwin Awards site, so you can subscribe to their newsletter
and vote on your favorite imbeciles.
