  1. Read the full story HERE.

    House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer announced today that that chamber won't consider a bill which would grant the District of Columbia a voting congressional representative. They won't bring it to the floor this week and probably not this year. Sorry, D.C. residents, you'll have to remain sub-citizens for the time being. But your money remains good--we'll continue to take those tax dollars, thanks very much. And you're welcome to keep sending your sons and daughters into the armed forces.
    Some background: With around 600,000 residents, the District of Columbia is as populous as Denver and Las Vegas. And it has more people than do Oklahoma City, Albuquerque, Atlanta, Portland, or Wyoming. Imagine the outrage if any of those locales were suddenly cut out of the congressional map.
    But then the gun fanatics got involved. You see the district has restrictive gun control laws. When pro-gun senators added a provision to the version of the bill which would have eviscerated those laws, the debate stopped being about D.C. voting rights and became a proxy for gun control.
  2. damn i must be doing something wrong, I'm lucky to get 110 out of a tank
    I average about 120. Rocket doesn't have a PC3 or any intake/exhaust mods though, it's just as Hon-duh intended. :)

    I average about 160 miles before I have to switch to reserve. another 30 miles or so and I'm empty.
