My question is, will we still have whell to kick around after he goes in for his annual review at Free Republic.
I sure hope so. I'm having far too much fun!

If you knew what you were talking about, you'd be dangerous. The Badger doesn't run in cold weather because tourism goes down in the fall and then the lake freezes over. Can't run on the ice.
Now, with the EPA pushing them, they may not be able to operate the ship next spring.

Why yes, Erik. You're correct.
And the Badger operated without raising the ire of Nixon's EPA. And Ford's EPA. And Carter's EPA. And Reagan's EPA. And Bush I's EPA. And Clinton's EPA. And Bush II's EPA. So, what's up with Obama's EPA. Oh, yeah. He's the prez that wants to put a strangle hold on coal.
