It is hard to figure out exactly what the priorities of Bush Administration really are since they are covered with so many layers of obfuscation and double talk.  Thankfully though, that administration’s days are numbered.  Not even W would be so arrogant as to think he doesn’t have to leave the White House after the Chief Justice swears in the next president.  Part of me would actually like to see the outcome of that fiasco.  I am trying to decide which would be funnier at the moment W standing out on the balcony with his tie wrapped around his head ala Rambo shouting, “Never give up… and never surrender!”  Alternately it could be Secret Service agents dragging him away while he shouts “This ain’t over!  There are ways around this Law.  I’ll get you John!  I gave you your job and I can take it away!”  Then as W disappears into the crowd never to be seen again Jerry Springer would come out and give a little closing monologue about the tragedy.

If you multiply the tax savings out over the twelve weeks we save as a family $44.16 while the average single driver will save $30.91. I know you are excited about that! Face it what can a single person or a family get for between $30 and $45. Amortized over 12 weeks you will hardly notice the difference. Read the full story
