Get your Norfolk travel plans set TexDave?

Finally, Sheesh that place is almost as hard to fly to as Gainesville, Florida which is about as bad as they get.  And hotels are stupid expensive around that area.

I gave you a bunch of options yesterday.  As for hotels, yea, in places they know you will only go to for business, hotels (and airlines) jack up prices.  Prices have always been ridiculous to fly into places like Detroit or Cincinnati.

Air Fare's were not the issue really, they were not way out of line but the schedules were the problem.  To get there on Southwest I would have to go to either Baltimore or Chicago to get there.  And all the others were just as crazy.   I am going on Delta and just  a routine stop in Atlanta going but have to go from Norfolk to Detroit to Austin.   Schedules on all of them were horrible.

Well we are talking about TxDave and airline travel, so results as expected.

And yet another stupid congressional act, this time by the RINO douchebag that represents my district.

Killing a police officer is a 1st degree murder (or equivalent under a different name) in every state and will either get you Life in the Big House or the preferred penalty of death.  So WTF difference does it make if it is a Federal Crime?  Oh yeah, I know..... for one thing it will get them into a hell of a lot nicer prison than any of the State joints.

Back the Blue Act: ‘Killing an officer should be federal crime’

Senator John Cornyn says killing an officer should be a federal crime.

Cigar Tax Avoided in Pennsylvania - Again

The finalized version of the 2016-2017 Pennsylvania budget does not include a tax on cigars. A legislative source told halfwheel that state leaders agreed to strip a proposed 40 percent tax on cigars from the budget. It’s not all good news for smokers, a 55 cents per ounce tax on all other tobacco products, not including cigars and electric cigarettes, remains in the bill. Pennsylvania holds unique importance to the cigar industry because it is home to major catalog retailers like Cigars International, Famous Smoke Shop, Holt’s and Atlantic Cigar Co. The reason many of those retailers are based in Pennsylvania is because it, along with Florida, New Hampshire and Washington D.C., have no state excise tax on cigars. This is hardly the first time a 40 percent tax on cigars has been proposed in Pennsylvania. As the state has dealt with budget shortfalls over the years, some have proposed adding a tax on cigars, a proposal that is consistently meant with arguments about how many potential jobs it could cost the state if the major retailers were to leave. Update: The bill has been signed into law.
