1. Although Wisconsin and a number of other states have a ridiculous number of licence plates recognising numerous causes, professional sports teams, university alumni, et cetera, here's one you might be able to stomach. Friday's Fort-Worthless Star-Telegram reports on a new Texas licence plate, the "Share the Road, Y'all" plate, with proceeds going to bicycle safety education.
2. Heard on a public radio news report on Texas Governor Rick Perry's proposals to fund shortfalls in education funding with various "sin taxes" (and the authorisation of thousands more VLTs which he insists do not represent an expansion of gambling): one person interviewed said he'd like to see a sin tax on the sin of pollution. "We want to go after yer Hummers, yer SUVs...." with a gas guzzler tax. The announcer noted, however, that Mr. Perry, driver of a 15 mi/gal vehicle was not likely to endorse such a measure. Now go have a beer, Bob Paolino UWCU members: Please vote this month for your new board. (Hint: Only one candidate mentioned beer.) "Homer, why don't you get one of those hands-free phones? It's the next best thing to paying attention to the road." --Barney, The Simpsons ( ) ASCII ribbon campaign X against HTML e-mail: / \ Friends don't send friends HTML-bloated messages!
