The power grid renewal is something else I wouldn't mind him doing some stimulus spending on. http://content.usatoday.com/communities/greenhouse/post/2010/02/obama-offers-loan-guarantees-for-first-new-nuclear-power-plant-in-three-decades/1 http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/17/business/energy-environment/17nukes.html National Politics Tue, 16 Feb 2010 22:31:02 GMT http://therealboard.forumakers.com/national-politics-f16/nuclear-energy-t2748.htm#38134 http://therealboard.forumakers.com/national-politics-f16/nuclear-energy-t2748.htm http://therealboard.forumakers.com/sports-f9/and-the-colts-roll-t2565.htm Pez Colts looked pretty sharp last night... still some trouble running the ball, and the turnover early... a great stand defensively also... love the colts' swagger this year... and Collie has his breakout game... must be cool to be a 23 year old kid catching 2 TD's on national television from the one of the greatest QB's in the game.
