A great marriage is not when the "perfect couple" comes together.

It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.

So funny and true.

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."

Personally speaking I find driving in California to be far safer than in NJ.

Incidentally NJ is the only state I've seen a guy dump his fast food tray out the window at the lights at the end of the off-ramp. :huh:

And, on the NY side I might add, the only state we've driven through where my wife has actually felt frightened to drive on the roads. People seem to have little regard for other road users.
