But, if it helps you through the night, then by all means drink that Kool Aid.

...just keep the sharp objects in the drawer.
no spin from me whell

people are simple in approach and react to the latest stimuli

they have to pass some bills....infrastructure and the Keystone pipeline could be tied together.
Impeach him for what? Being annoying?

We have no state income tax but we pay 9.25% tax on anything we buy in TN, food included.

About all I use Ebay for is when someone needs a head. Here, to have a single 4 cyl head cleaned, checked for cracks, surfaced, and a valve job it costs about 250.00 and the nearest place to drop the head off is 40 miles. So that means two 80 mile round trips for each job, one to drop it off, and one to go pick it up a few days to a week later when they get to it. I buy them for 200.00 factory remanufactured out of TX with 1 year warranty and free shipping. If it's a cast iron head, they sell them for 125.00 to 175.00 in most cases. So far everything I've got from them has looked better than what comes out of our machine shop. Saves me the headache and wear and tear on the truck.

It's 10% in Alabama.

Plus they have one of the most regressive state income taxes in the country.

That's what good old conservative government will get you.

Well, somebody's got to make up for what the rich don't pay.
