Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Use this page to send him a happy little message. A nice pat on the fat back to tell him he's doing such a great cock sucking job.

The fact that he holds public office is pretty blatant evidence of the failure of a democratic republic.

Im impressed- he read the bill. A lot of bills get voted on or against without being read.

He didn't read the minimum wage bill apparently. Congresspersons don't read bills in most cases. There interns and advisers do, then they report the highlights to the congressperson.

Good. Because you'd probably get banned from this site if you did.

No-one read the patriot act. Everyone was bullied into voting without knowing what was in it.

I love the part where it shows the antique tandem tricycle. Certainly, that must be the common conception of the bicycle...how could that possibly solve the energy crisis? How jovial! Silly democrats.

I think he's got a point actually - 1 mil a year to promote bicycle use won't do jack **** for our energy situation. It's just pretending to give a ****. The money could be used better in planning more effective mass transit options thus making driving less attractive, or sponsoring promising new technologies. Modernizing our ancient nuclear power plants and building new ones. If this is part of some well funded mass education campaign for alternative transportation that would be different. Instead it's tossing a pittance in the general direction of the issue.

Hell, just using the money to subsidize public transport would have a much greater effect. For example - I work in Mountain View, but live in San Francisco. I could either drive to work (45 min each way), or take the Caltrain/bike (1 - 1.5 h each way). Not only is there a time penalty it's actually more expensive for me to take the train. If it was free, that would go a long way in making the train far more appealing.

That said I'm going back to the caltrain because I can use the extra time for my side venture. When I used to have someone waiting for me at home time was #1 priority, but since my long term relationship fell apart a few months ago that's not such a big deal anymore. For anyone who has a family speed of public transport is something to consider as well. Caltrain is sloooooow.

And you think a million bucks is gonna do anything in the areas you listed? Build a new nuclear power plant? You have got to be kidding, right?

Maybe we should show up at his house some night with torches and pitchforks. Shove a crank arm up his dickhole. You know...just for kicks.
