The poor thing

Our pal Jose Canseco just had his house go into foreclosure.

"You know my life, this financial thing, is a very complicated issue. Obviously, when you make all that money, people think, `OK, let's assume it is $35 million.' People have to understand that $35 million, you're paying the government 41 percent. That leaves you with about $17 or $18 million, not even. Then you're taking care of your whole family."

How the hell are you to take care of your whole family on $17 or $18 million? I ask you- is this how we want our former big leaguers to live their lives? What kind of country is this?

I mean, I need at least $25 million to keep this family afloat. And that's slummin' it a bit, you know.

Cripes.

Don't forget that "whole family" includes your steroid guy. You're gonna feel a little prick...

I guess the steroid guy could be kinda expensive.

I'm a teacher. Apparently this means I must know EVERY answer to EVERY question in all of creation. Heaven help me if I make a spelling error. I'm also a wife & "new Mommie" (shudder). Don't get me wrong, I love my babies, but the phrase "new mommie" has got to go. It just conjures up images of scrunchies & sweat pants in my mind. Phooey.
