Is spring around the corner?

Sun is out and I can almost visualize things turning green. Had some 50's+ weather this week and spring fever is settling in. Almost time to get the bike out.

Stimulus

Go Senator Reid! Sounds like this plan will put a lot of people to work ... for short time. Then people in LA will have an easy way to commute to their favorite playground. No pork here.

In late-stage talks, Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., pressed for $8 billion to construct high-speed rail lines, quadrupling the amount in the bill that passed the Senate on Tuesday.

Reid's office issued a statement noting that a proposed Los Angeles-to-Las Vegas rail might get a big chunk of the money.

Liberals and environment - Speeding uses more gas

Just got back from a road trip where I noticed that more than half the people on the highway were traveling faster than I was and I followed the speed limit. I expect that many of these were liberals because apparently at least half the people are and many of these displayed Obama stickers. We all know that driving slower will save energy and probably lower our carbon footprint. Isn't it ironic that the people who want to promote and force us to become "greener" cannot even set an example by driving the speed limit. Say nothing about the BIG vehicles they are passing me with.
