And all this helps the common laborer how? Sounds as if road construction crews will benefit and nobody else.

I would be willing to support a reintroduction of elk to SEMO, provided the Conservation Department significantly thins deer herds. Highways are dangerous enough without adding elk.

I'm glad to see the USS Missouri legacy lives on. I hope she serves us well.

If I remember correctly, Ford didn't take handouts, nor did they need them. They did their own thinking, saw the economy decline coming and acted on their own to survive, while GM and Chrysler ran themselves into the ground and held out their hands. In my opinion, Ford is good for Missouri and this bill should at least be allowed a vigorous debate in the full Senate. I'm sick of pogues like Purgason gumming up the works. Is he the new Robert Byrd? Just what we need, another "Filibuster King".

Purgason wears a rug. Too bad it doesn't cover his face. http://politics.foxnews.mobi/quickPage.html?page=...

How many placebos are prescribed and sold to people? Nothing more than fake pain killers that are intentionally falsely described by doctors. But, I'm not surprised, coming from a state that upholds laws like, rolling papers are illegal to possess, unless they are accompanied by rolling tobacco. The papers are paraphenalia and in my neck of the woods, max fines are $500.

Granted, Obama isn't helping and has continued the spending spree to a much greater degree, but the mess began before the end of Clinton's watch and escalated significantly on Bushy's watch. He did nothing to slow or stop the country's financial downfall. Bushy spent this country into the ground too, while Congress turned a blind eye to Wall Street and Corporate America's thieving financial practices. Come on, don't deny it or try using a lame comparison to ease your shame. It's true. Neither party or their representatives are worth their weight in anything but dog feces. Frankly, that's questionable too. Dog feces may be worth significantly more. Looks like Jay has realized that being a democrat doesn't have to be about uncontrolled spending. He's going against the grain and cutting like a Republican. Liberal Washington has got to be wondering if he has a fever and has forgotten what party he represents here..

Leave her butt in jail. My opinion is, she's a sorry excuse for a parent. Some people shouldn't be allowed to reproduce.

I believe that texting, regardless of age should be banned nationwide. The feds are going to add interstate bus and truck drivers to the list on non-texting soon. I support the decision and would also support banning cell calls as well. No calls or texts are so important that they have to be conducted underway. I submit that 911 calls should be the only exception.

Here's a portion of a News Tribune opinion article that makes a few comparisons of driver distractions...

[Texters' reaction times are three times slower than those of someone at the legal limit for drinking and significantly slower than those of a driver who's been smoking marijuana. Americans long ago decided they can't abide the risks from those activities. It's time for tough DWT laws.]
