Bridges should not be funded by Congress anyways.. They are local items, need to be funded locally!!

Minnesotans pay PLENTY in taxes. It was the incompetence of MNDOT that led to this.

Anyway, this just sickens me. Who has it been that has pressed for war since the get go? Certainly not the dems, rather this (I really wish I could say what I really think here) "administration."

This administration is responsible for the mess we're in and that includes the whole lot of 'em. Ever since Bush emerged I KNEW it would be a disaster. I just had no idea how big of a disaster.

Oh, and anyone who voted for Bush too, not that he was ever fairly elected, but I digress and do not want to get off into a tangent.

How depressing this whole mess is. On the bright side? longshoremen up and down the west coast did "take the day off" to protest the war.

Message to the democratically controlled congress: grow a pair.

What a waste of money.
