the best sellers, they really want you to buy it

I'm not a fan of ebooks, but my wife is. She downloads a couple a week
from our local public library, and also downloads "freebies" via her
Amazon "prime" account. But she still visits the library to borrow
traditional books, too. So do I.

It seems like all of the "hot books are fiction and I don't read that
anymore. Real life is unbelievably interesting enough for me.

As some may have guessed I am a Thomas junkie, actually reading the
bills few of our representatives and none of the media ever read.

I found this gem in the first "Sandy bill" (H.R.1)

"For an additional amount for `Procurement of Ammunition, Army',
$1,310,000, to remain available until September 30, 2015, for
necessary expenses related to the consequences of Hurricane Sandy:"

Huh? Why does the Army need a million three of extra ammunition "for
necessary expenses related to the consequences of Hurricane Sandy:"?

How many of the survivors do they think they will need to shoot?

It is that **** that makes Boehner look correct in not taking the bill
seriously.

Excuses, excuses...... Gee, how come not one single politician on the
right said, "we are not going to allow voting on the bill because of the
pork in it"???
