But keep putting up those idiotic posts, pgh. It's good to get that bile out. The desperation you feel must be doing terrible things to your digestive system.

Which means 50 BILLION OF OUR DOLLARS GOES TO OTHER STATES. Every year.

Paybacks a *****.
All the more reason to stop sending money to washington.. right?

Remember us Californians "donate" our taxes to other states, we get back about 70% of what we put into the fed. If we go down, most likely so are other states.

The topic isnt NASCAR, the topic is California, (and no, I dont support NASCAR getting $1, so the posting is wasted)

Oh no! pgh called me out! Whatever will I do?

Maybe I should head on over to Google and find a source (http://www.allacademic.com//meta/p_mla_apa_research_citation/1/3/8/4/5/pages138457/p138457-1.php - broken link).

Well. That wasn't so bad, after all.

What will be pgh's next lame attempt?
