Airplanes, taxis . . . Those gas-guzzling Democrats, raping and pillaging Mother Earth in their selfishness and lust for power.

''If the city won't go up to at least $45 to take three passengers, we'll go on strike,'' said Balwinder Gill, 37, a 10-year veteran driver from Everett. ''We're just not going to take it. We're going to lose money.'' Can't they just put a little sign in their windows, "Say No to Vouchers"? After all the Dems don't like vouchers some I am sure they would be happy to pay cash or take the mass transit or... that most green of all options... just walk from the airport to the hotel.

Heheheh. There MUST be an easier way. Maybe write it on a post-it, and stick it next to the monitor. Eventually you'll be able to throw it away.
BTW, if you think THAT one is tricky, try this one:
Gesamstskunstwerk. (means: total work of art)

Yeah, I mean we all know how the Dems feel about school vouchers, so "Say No to Vouchers" signs on the taxis would make them feel right at home.

One of my problems is a terrible case of "Weltschmerz." Means "pain for the world."
These big German words are quite unique, as we English speakers don't really have singular words for these concepts. It's an interesting phenomenon about the German language.

The taxi drivers should consider it a privilege to drive the ruling political elite.

F.P. !!! Long time no post! Working insane hours living the American Dream. I worked only twelve hours today...feels like I'm on vacation.
I've been busy trying to figure out why the government wants %50 of my money when I die.....which could be any minute now......you need a loan???

Easy enough problem to solve. They just made it legal for trucks from Mexico to drive into the U.S. Just extend the law to include Mexican taxis.

FP. My folks worked very hard to leave a nestegg to my bro and I, and then the IRS demanded 1.2Mil when they died. It left us with some property, which is highly taxed and therefore is threatened. And THAT was with a very complex Family Trust. I feel your pain........(sorry, yet another bit of language that Clinton TARNISHED for us!)
Keep the faith!

Well I hope it makes them angry enough that they and the rest of that state start voting out the limousine liberals infesting it.Come November, 90 percent of these pissed off cabbies (the ones that bother to vote, anyway) will faithfully pull the levers for John Kerry and every other Rat running for office. I hope they'll understand if I have a hard time working up much sympathy for the tooling they are about to receive.

Hmm... party of the working man.
And what happens if the taxi drivers go on strike? The car rental places and parking lot operators make the money.

Most likely they will keep shoving these liberals down our throats for many years to come. The Camelot mentality has them brainwashed in that state and living in the past. Not that NY is much better...

or... that most green of all options... just walk from the airport to the hotel. You ever been to Boston?
You're not going to be walking from the airport to the hotel. I don't even want to drive it. It's a protracted series of chutes & ladders that makes the actual game by that name seem simple.
A more screwed-up city is hard to imagine. I don't think there is one. Tiajuana maybe. Perhaps Mexicali.
The taxi drivers deserve their $45.
To: The Other Harry
You ever been to Boston? Yes. :)
The taxi drivers deserve their $45.
Oh I agree.

FP. My folks worked very hard to leave a nestegg to my bro and I, and then the IRS demanded 1.2Mil when they died.... And that doesn't count the attorney and the rest of it.
Well, my kids will get exactly nothing from me. They're a pair of spoiled brats. My daughter is better than my son, but neither one is worth a ****.
I'm working on this currently. Doing a trust, and they ain't the beneficiaries.

Sheesh!! Boston has a perfectly good (subsidized, no doubt) mass-transit subway system called the "T" (once "MTA")... You may be too young to understand this, but is Charlie still riding it?
To: visagoth
I love it when a plan comes together!
(Actually I didn't plan it, but it couldn't be going better if I did!)

Would the $4.50 commercial toll be one way or round-trip? If they have to pay $9.00 to get to the airport and back that may present a slight profitability obstacle.
