President Obama in his weekly address on 9/3/11 re extending the transportation bill said,
At the end of September, if Congress doesn’t act, funding for our roads and bridges will expire. This would put a stop to highway construction, bridge repair, mass transit systems and other important projects that keep our country moving quickly and safely. And it would affect thousands of construction workers and their families who depend on the jobs created by these projects to make ends meet.
Usually, renewing this transportation bill is a no-brainer. In fact, Congress has renewed it seven times over the last two years. But thanks to political posturing in Washington, they haven’t been able to extend it this time – and the clock is running out.
Is 'political posturing' negative or positive?

ReplyDeleteI found one that you may like, I read it Miami Herald this morning by Leonard Pitts, Jr. on the case of a 14 year old being tried for murder as an adult--" But the detritus of this tragedy is beyond the power of any verdict to ever repair"..
ReplyDeleteHave you ever heard the word detritus before?
Detritus means, "any kind of rubbish/garbage that is left after an event or when something has been used."
ReplyDeleteHe could also have written, "but the waste, or stupidity, of this tragedy...."
