My Hiney Is Asleep, But Not Dead

I’m really starting to hate driving.  No particular reason, it just seems like it takes longer and longer to get anywhere.  Probably just my imagination considering it still only took me less than 7 hours to get from Huntsville, TX to Vicksburg, MS.  That hasn’t changed, even with the road work going on outside of Shreveport.  Must just be old age.  :?

Driving related question:  Remember when the gubmint forced states to lower the speed limit to 55mph with the threat of with holding federal funds?  Supposedly, it was to save gas.  Well, I’m wondering, with all the folks whining about the price of a gallon of gas these days, how come so many people are speeding?  The speed limit is 70mph on the interstate, so what does it gain them?  How much more does it cost ‘em if they do 10 miles over the limit for an extended period of time?  I mean other than the obvious if the cop gets ya.

I heard today on the radio that some moron on CNBC was whining about Rush’s big “payday” and contract, and said conservatism was dead.  Really?  Interesting.  Cuz ya know, I still feel pretty much alive, and I’m pretty sure there are many others just like me….still kickin’!  Since conservatives are still fairly vocal, not only on the radio (does Airhead America still exist?), but on a couple of cable channels, and we are pretty obvious on the internet, I can’t imagine where anyone gets the idea we are dead.  I’m not too sure about that speaking from beyond the grave business.

Oh, and I just bought one of these…..

Now, I know I don’t need another t-shirt, but it’s for a great cause, so go here, and either donate a few bucks, or buy a shirt to help out our heroes in Ward 57 at Walter Reed Hospital!!!  Better yet…DO BOTH!  After you do that, check out the rest of the website, Operation Ward 57.
