Posted by Ted Bronson | Filed under Capitalism, Do It Yourself, Idiot Legislation
Folks, you know I’m all about doing it yourself. You also know that I think we should be drilling enough wells in the Gulf of Mexico to walk from Tampa to Galveston without getting our feet wet. I believe I may have even made my displeasure with our Senate hirelings plain on at least one [...]
