GREENHOUSE GAS

President Obama just flew Air Force One to Williamsburg for a 30-minute address to the Democrats' Congressional Retreat -- a trip that takes me an hour and a half on the freeway.

I wonder how many tons of CO2 were expended for his excellent adventure?

STIMULUS?

This is what we're being asked to pay for?

Las Vegas wants $2 million for neon signs.
Austin, Texas says it could use $886,000 to build a 36-hole Frisbee golf course.
Shreveport, Louisiana has asked for $6 million for three aquatic centers with water slides.
Chula Vista, California wants $500,000 to create a place where dogs can run without a leash.


Four more reasons to vote “NO!” on the stimulus package.

WHERE IS AL GORE?

It was subzero in Manassas when I rose this morning. The current temperature is 27 degrees, with a wind chill of 17 degrees.

I'd like to throw Al Gore in the fireplace for some extra heat, but I don't think snake oil burns very well.

KILL THE BILL

Here's what I sent:

Even the Congressional Budget Office says the stimulus bill will be harmful over the long term. I'd much rather suffer a little now than have my grandchildren suffer even more.

Kill it. Now. Please.
