No Show Joe

Joe was a no show today at Rochester College. Shawn, Joe's staffer from his Farmington Hills office, was Joe's stand-in. He read a short statement from Joe.

One thing is clear, Joe is a short-term thinker. He's for alternative energy, but against raising CAFE standards. What he doesn't seem to acknowledge is that our mileage standards in the United States are the lowest in the world, way below the Chinese. I doubt that if we had been constantly raising our mileage standards through the years our economy here in Michigan woul dbe in the shape it is now. We have the technical know-how in the country and we could be leading the world in mileage standards, but not with Joe in Congress.

Excuses, excuses, excuses.

He couldn't get there to vote. He couldn't get there to speak. He can't make up his mind which way to vote.

Oh, and the weather that day was quite nice. There was NO precipitation. It was overcast with some light snow.

What is the next excuse?
