Legislating defeat

The Democrats continue to attempt to legislate defeat in the Iraq War.

I won't get too animated here, but this is enough of this trash. I am so tired of Congress politicizing this war. When September comes around and General Petraeus' report is given I will then allow some conversation about the war, but until then, give the military the respect they deserve and shut up. You're not over there, you're not in danger and you don't know what you're talking about.

Traffic problems in NYC

Mayor Bloomberg wants to start charging tolls for people who drive into Manhattan during peak hours. This is an effort to "reduce traffic and pollution".

Okay, reducing traffic I understand, reducing pollution by having tolls...I don't think so. What a joke. The best way to reduce traffic is to have safe, clean, efficient and available public transit. The best form of public transit are streetcars, but unfortunately it is now very difficult to rebuild the old systems that once weaved through every major city in the USA.
