At the rate Obama’s War on Wall Street and on Main Street are destroying my wealth, I’m thinking about a pedal bicycle.
No complaints from me, please understand, I just enjoy the accurate description.
But the with one on the left, you simply turn the key when you want it to be quiet.
“going to place a big tax on electricity consumption”
Gas coming to another $4.00/gal lightning round, and KW/hour juicing up to..........
But at least we had Paris, or we were Paris-ed, or some such.
