Full of hot air

It's frustrating to hear that our legislators can be talked into spending taxpayer dollars on working to ban the sale of helium-filled metallic balloons. Besides, people will simply buy the balloons and also buy their own helium tanks so they can fill the balloons. Then we'll have a whole set of new problems. Why do we keep electing egotistical people who focus on fringe problems instead of working on core issues?

Quote Of The Moment
Trying to determine what is going on in the world by reading newspapers is like trying to tell the time by watching the second hand of a clock.
