For, example one of the earmarks provide for those making rum in the virgin island get $169,000,000. Then again, maybe that is for us? Yet those that were will get far less. Why, the sqweaky wheel gets the oil! You don't say nothin, You don't get nothin'   Disciple724 Veteran Poster Username: Disciple724 Post Number: 188 Registered: 07-2008 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!)
