And it's going to take time. I don't even think he realized how much time, and that he's working with the broken system. He knows it now, boy howdee. <br /><br />I like that letter, but I especially like the cartoon. If Obama and the Dems were held accountable, I sure hope the elephants are, too. Of course, if the electorate was really paying attention, we wouldn't be sitting on the precipice back to the future.red pen mamahttp://albamaria30.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-84166979494814176012010-11-15T09:37:46.644-05:002010-11-15T09:37:46.644-05:00Cristy,

A couple of the kids, clearly repeating what their parent say, were complaining about taxes. I told them everything costs money. If you want better whatever, the $ has to come from somewhere. <br /><br />I hate high taxes and do think PA is screwing up on many accounts, the liquor stores not the least of which and the pension plans probably the biggest problem, but I also recognize that you can't fix the roads and do so many other things without more money.Faciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12165861407055831754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-84064736848246316852010-11-13T13:40:13.405-05:002010-11-13T13:40:13.405-05:00And that doesn't even include the Ravens fans....And that doesn't even include the Ravens fans...bluzdudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991272670722362652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-64310301069651953112010-11-13T12:32:29.917-05:002010-11-13T12:32:29.917-05:00Mac Nachlas is probably the only semi good looking...Mac Nachlas is probably the only semi good looking dude in Baltimore.
