Did You Know...

President Obama has said “pass this bill” over a hundred times now, and I think the arm twisting is working. With that fire lit under him, Harry Reid took to the Senate floor this morning and said the following:

“Well, for most Americans, [bike paths] are absolutely important. It’s good for purposes of allowing people to travel, um, without burning all the fossil fuel on the highways. I got up this morning really early, and went out and did my exercise. I’m not exaggerating — scores! — at least 30 or 40 bikes — so scores may be a slight exaggeration — of people, not just for exercise, traveling to work. Backpacks on — they are going to work. That’s what bike paths are all about!”

Bike paths are all about people riding bikes on them? I yield the remainder of my time to the insightful Senator from Nevada:

Expect to hear more from Harry about the urgency of passing the American Jobs Act tomorrow. Has he told you the pomegranate story yet?
