Barry - Anybody who is too lazy to throw trash in the trash bin is lazy. Just walk around outside and look down. It doesn't matter where you are, you will see cigarette butts laying all over. Even right beside the butt bins, they lay. It is a disgrace...and yes, if I saw Obama flicking a butt, I would call him on it. I've never seen him do it, but that doesn't mean he doesn't. I would hope not, though, but it seems that smokers do it totally mindlessly, so I wouldn't be surprised.

Fred -So when somebody gets hired to build a bridge or a highway, the cost of building the bridge - buying cement, steel, gravel, machinery, all that gets included in that man's salary cost? The stimulus money was spent on infrastructure, not only on salary. You're really stretching your facts to match your argument, don't you think?

Lets look at the cost of the illegal war. Over $1 TRILLION - thats TRILLION WITH A "T", and we are still not done with Afghanistan!! What benefit have we gotten? New roads? New bridges? NO, nothing except 5,000 dead bodies and 30,000 injured soldiers - who will collect veterans social security benefits for the rest of their lives. Your anger is pointed in the wrong direction, my friend. I would rather spend 1 trillion on new roads in this country than spending it in Iraq because of some trumped up WMDs so W could vindicate his father!

..and if two people of the same political views means they are married, how are you and Herb getting along? Are you going to move to Massachusetts now?
