    Sorry, I can't check the news all day every day. Must've missed that one. Had I seen it I would have been hollering about it. You should know me well enough by now that I am consistent in my despise for big government and especially big taxes. ESPECIALLY big regressive taxes!

    As to where was I? I dunno. Pretty sure I was somewhere defending you in one fashion or another.

    Regarding what it costs to repair vehicles in Michigan...I dunno, apparently they are prohibitive b/c the biggest ragged out jalopies I see invariably have MI plates.

    Nobody denies that MI roads are hideous, but a tax which directly crushes the working class is not the answer.

    Yes. All interstates should be federal toll roads, and all funds should go back into that interstates' upkeep. Any leftovers should be earmarked and put into federal block grants that go to that state's road upkeep. This is one area where I think federal oversight is warranted. The states have proven over and over again they are not capable of keeping their grubby hands out of the cookie jar.

    I gotta say something that has been chapping my rear end on this...
    Even conservative media outlets keep calling Photogate the "blackface controversy."
    Uhhhhh..... pretty sure he was the guy in the hood. When the story originally broke he "couldn't remember" having worn either one. Now he's sure he wasn't the guy in the blackface, although he admits that on another occasion he wore blackface and moonwalked.

    Gateway Pundit did a little gumshoe reporting and found another guy in the yearbook wearing the exact same pants as the blackface kid. He's in another pic with the Governor, and he's noticeably shorter than the Governor. About the same height difference as the blackface and pointy hat guy. Hmmm....

    Thanks, Future Me!

    Looks gross to me, I don't do deserts or pizza anymore, or fast food, or junk food. I think skoal has killed my taste buds, nothing tastes that good anymore. Food has gotten be simply fuel for me, I eat because I have to but other than meat nothing excites me.

    I rarely have pastries but I'll make an annual exception for apple paczkis. With whiskey.

    Today I had a donut, vanilla ice cream, and strawberry cake. Bring it! That hour long workout was damn worth it. Hahaha

    If someone has a 20 gallon tank and needs to fill up three times a week I don't feel bad for them.

    I'd maybe get hat checked out by a doctor. Not to strike fear or anything but when my dad was on his final 6 months to a year of cancer he said nothing tasted good to him. Obviously it's likely nothing, but better be safe than sorry.

    Glad I'm not the only one who thought about giving Sota some grief about that.
