July 23, 2009: Tilt Bridge

I think he's upset that a government would spend money on anyone who isn't burning fossil fuel to get from point A to point B.

There are 16 people on that bridge, but it's hard to see them because they aren't in cars. If they were in cars, the bridge would be bumper to bumper, and he would be complaining that it isn't wide enough to handle the traffic.

I actually couldn't give a fig. My taxes didn't pay for it.

And how did you figure my environmental position, from my statement that $44 million dollars for a bridge that benefits so few people, compared to how many people's tax doll-I mean pounds it took to pay for it is a waste (IMHO)? And, for the record, I don't own a car. So there.
