And whose pocket do you think that's coming out of? Bwaaaahhaaaaa..

All our pockets, except in NJ where it's only coming out of Ed's
pocket. Did I get that right?

Nope. I drive a Ford Focus, remember? g

That's all you can afford after supporting the States, eh?


However, I'm sure many people in the Lower 48 would be glad to know that
some of the money they pay for gasoline is going into the pockets of Sarah
Palin's new son-in-law, and his soon-to-be-born tyke. Too bad they won't
return the favor.

Oh, I don't worry about that. Your new president will handle that.



Think about it. Now, what is
D.C. doing on that list of states, eh? It's a federal district fer
chrissakes! Of course it's getting a lot of federal money. They build
federal buildings and run services and build infrastructure for them in
federal districts. Jeez. g

I thought maybe they were counting the exhorbitant gov't salaries.
shrug

Sure. Some of it is. And lobbyists' salaries. But the fact is that most of
D.C.'s expenses that would be state expenses in a state, are federal
expenses. Thus, their high rate of return on federal taxes.

Ayup.


What, no more wrestlers? Is that fad over?

A pro wrestler, a stand-up comic...I figure they'll recruit from a sideshow
next.

I figure they already have. FRANKENstein?
