And one thing about clearing brush, no matter how much you clear, there's always more brush to clear out.
Both activities are fine in my book.

LOL, unless the republicans can muster up a strong contender you will be looking at quite a few years of golf and body surfing the north shore.

Haven't heard that yet about obama, have you?

The Left is silent, drowned in their hypocrisy.
Notice that gas is four bucks a gallon but there aren't stories galore in the newspapers about how working poor folk can't afford gas to get to their six jobs? Where did the outrage go?

Obama doesn't miss privacy. He misses being able to vote 'present' for a living and get away with it.

The United States is not an easy country. We have democratically elected representatives who all want their voice heard on behalf of their constituents. We have to work much harder than other countries to make our system work, but when it does, there's no other country that can do the things we're capable of. And even though we make mistakes, I'm proud to be an American. It would be easier to be in China where decisions are made behind closed doors, without having to worry about your say being heard. And maybe their economy is improving in part because of that. But I wouldn't want any other system than the one we've had for over 200 years!
