It was a great commercial. I always wanted a poster for my neice-in-law’s daughter. Girls today need to know the sky’s the limit. Boys too. But that’s a different problem.

***Begin Quote***

BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) – Virginia’s governor said Tuesday he may be able to close the loophole that allowed Seung-Hui Cho to buy the guns he used to kill 32 people on the Virginia Tech campus. In 2005, a court had ordered psychiatric counseling for Cho after determining he presented a danger to…

It’s generally conceded that NJ PAYS far in excess of Federal Taxes than it receives back in Federal benefits. That in itself is a losing proposition!

So it’s money stolen from NEW JERSEY taxpayers. It’s THEIR money.

It’s also generally conceded that GOOFERMENT takes between one quarter and three quarters for itself — a handling fee — for its own expenses.

Shouldn’t we have just done it our self and cut out the handling fee?

Better idea. Get the Gooferment out of mass transit entirely.

When McDonald’s improves its restaurant, I don’t pay them to do it. Do I?

Argh!
