That would be special! It would be even "specialler" if it happened a lot quicker than that!

Meanwhile, here's a teaser...mass transit and infrastructure investment. Who's party has resisted both of those ideas?
Neither majority party opposes those ideas. While the Repubs opposed a massive and ineffective stimulus package - even Obama finally admitted that there was a dearth of shovel ready jobs - both parties agree that such investment is a priority. The challenge appears to be coming together on exactly how to fund it.

Yes, and that's all they do, of course. Liberals want to wreck the economy to make the country that much easier for the commies to make us all into their slaves.

A guy walks into a bar and opens his briefcase. Out pops a tiny man with a tiny piano.

Another bar patron asks about the tiny man. The guy says "I have a Genie."

"A genie!" says the patron.

"Sure, make a wish."

The patron says "I want a million bucks."

Suddenly the place is full or quacking birds.

"Hey, what gives, I asked for a million bucks, not a million ducks."

The guy with the little man says, "So, you think I asked for a twelve inch pianist."

Regards,

D-Ray

"In Oklahoma, drivers are paying way less than that, a welcoming sight for many, but also tough for others in a state run by oil.

You can’t miss the bright and bold numbers that read $1.59."


Wow. I paid $2.55 today to fill up my gas guzzler which I am now using sparingly. I find it hard to believe that the Saudi's are driving the prices down intentionally to do a Hunt Bros. It is certainly hurting Iran their arch enemy, probably Iraq too.

I don't want a genie with my hearing impairment, but it does make what I hear funnier than what people say. F.I. , it recently converted "I left some stuff at Hal's" to "I'd like some stuffed owls". True story.
