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

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

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

I figure they already have. FRANKENstein?
