Yes, but why should the Feds be paying for bridges in Alaska OR New York?
This is also the origin of the word "hysterectomy" - removal of the uterus.
Molly Ivins should be thankful that Bush 43 was re-elected. Otherwise, she would drift back to anonymity in a red state. At least for the next 4 years, she will be on the invite list for the MSM elite parties. But don't get a swelled head Molly. You are the token hayseed from flyover country. Your heroes really don;t like Texans.
Helen Thomas: now that's a face for radio.
I want to see the guy that she went to bed with to get her job. Yikes!!

Hey Molly, Face north and keep walking before you know it you will be in Canada P.S. bring warm clothes.
A light rail system makes sense for SLC. It's fairly compact, on the edge of a mountain and between the mountain and the lake. SLC spreads north and south, with fairly good sized cities north and south, almost contiinuously. So a rail system that went north and south would stop a lot of traffic along the interstate.
Oklahoma city, however, is spread out. Not a lot of people, but over a wide area in a circle. Except for the inner city half mile, it would be a waste of money for public transportation.
Aside from things that are truly of value to the nation as a whole (brdiges would actually be covered as part of a functional road system), if the feds are funding it, they have too much money. They should reduce federal taxes by a like amount and let the state fund it themselves if they want it. That way the states will still be funding their own projects with their own money, they won't have to pay the percentage off the top to the administrators, they won't have the federal funds gun to their head re BAL levels, helmet laws, etc., and they'll still have the power to make the decision locally whether the item is needed or not. I realize they are not presently being forced to build the bridge, but in a way they are, because if they don't build it, they lose the grant money with no commensurate decrease in tax dollars extracted from their state.
Molly, Molly...werent' you just dropped from a radio show dear? Go away Molly...we hardly knew ye and boy are we glad.
"The Worst is Yet to Come (Molly Ivins Rips Bush)"
That title could be applied to almost every article the woman has written.
Molly is not amused nor pleased? The perpetual Molly Ivins condition. - Life is good. - 'Tis a happy Thanksgiving, indeed!
Her wailing is fun, Jim Hightowers' is even mo' fun.
>I intended to keep my indignation dry and save the outrage for when it is really needed
So much for that bipartisan, reach across the aisle, effort that you demanded, huh?
How they don't see that as an outright lie escapes me.
NEW REGIME????
Molly. Let's start with the basics. I know you liberals are pretty lofty in thinking and feel you're far above conservatives in intelligence. If that is actually so, then why is it that you can't even realize that Bush's FIRST TERM HAS NOT YET ENDED????!!!!
Will you liberals EVER get beyond being 'FULL-OF-YOURSELVES?' Sheeeesh!!!!
And a blindfold and a cigarette, she truly is a communist of the worst sort.
Since this creep will never die a hero to his movement, this 'looker' should be his reward as a replacement for the similar al Qaeda '72 virgin deal' thing.
Sound fair? I knew you'd agree.
Molly get laid? Have you ever seen Molly Ivins? Obviously not. She is a 2 bagger.
