Sometimes you gotta go home again to make the trip worth the effort. Bob Sever

I'm so proud... Obama just stated in the State of the Union address that the economy is getting better, he emphasized.."the CEO of Masterlock is building more locks now then they have in the past 50 years"...

What a crock...our government is at it once again! They snub their noses at our neighbors and friends to the north (the Canadians). They refuse to negotiate with them to get an oil and pipeline deal in place.

If the husband does not care how high spending goes then he too would have “no Opinion” on passing a budget. The real irony is “someone” in the House is making complete fools of the other two members. Remember, with no rules…spending someone else’s money is ...
