#1 "Two More Weeks of Senator Biden -- But Why?"

Some Senator from Pennsylvania stuck his head out of his limousine and saw his shadow so there are two more weeks of Biden.

#2 I'm sure Slow Joe Biden is as eager to screw over regular Americans just like he did his replacement.

#3 It's an extra opportunity for this individual to flap his gums. He DOES love the sound of his own voice. The rest of us, not so much.

#5 Biden also remains chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. But he told Stephanopoulos that he would immediately yield committee leadership responsibilities to his successor in that post, Sen. John F. Kerry, D-Mass.

Interesting times, ladies and gentlemen.

#6 Narcissists put in place by the narcissistic media. We are headed for interesting times indeed. When these folks enable the next attack on a major city, will flyover Americans care or even notice it?

#8 Just guessing, but: the amount of his pension depends on years of service and the average of the highest three years of salary.

That depends. If it is some Liberal craphole like NY, DC, SF...etc.) not so much. Good riddance actually. However, if it is in the heartland, there won't need to be that bounty I spoke of last night.

Oh, Barbara, no bag limits. The goal will be to thin them down to manageable levels.

#10 Yes Ed, we care - its not like we don't have family and friends around the US and world; the percentage of flyovers who volunteer for military service and volunteer for fire fighting is outstanding. Yes we notice, especially when coasties move out here because they can't take it where they left from yet still cling to their failed policies and try to enact them here. We have our own stuggles exasberated by city folk crap like fart taxes - an idea which would never originate in flyover country.

When we do visit we are treated as hinterland rubes and not listened to, yet we forgive with soft words and continue on. Out here we wave at people because that might be the only car we see for 10 miles; we don't have AAA we have Good Samaritan. Y'all come out here and make fun of us like its some sort of cowboy wave. We forgive with soft words and drive y'all back to the airport.

No offense, but if you are tired of tripping over garbage, then clean your house. How are we supposed to respect you big time states when those people allow crap like MN happen with barely a whimper. We are the Greeks of yore compared to what we see when we visit. Show us something worth saving and we will be there.

/rant, no offense intended - Rantburgers and Soldiers are always welcome at my house.

#11 "thin them down to manageable levels"

In other words, zero, Spusosh?

I can see why there aren't any bag limits....
