It's a damn shame this state doesn't allow for governor recalls. Time is running short for all these criminals in office.; 3:16 PM, May 09, 2008

How in the "Wide, Wide World of Politics" can you justify contibutions to education via gas taxes that were slated for building and maintaining our roadways --- and then freeze them for the past decade????; 12:19 PM, May 12, 2008
