Answer 1

Good question. I guess nobody was watching Fox News the day that Cheney corrected his "misspeak"!

Answer 2

Last time I looked at a map Cuba was about 90 miles from Florida.

Answer 3

When they reach a deal with Cuba that is pretty darn close.

Answer 4

Countries from all over the world are drilling for oil in the Gulf of Mexico - that's no lie.

The only one that's not there is us. There hasn't been a refinery built in this country in over 30 years - thank the Democrats for that. No wind farms off the east coast, because Kennedy doesn't want one in his backyard, although, he's all for alternative energy - as long as it's in your backyard and not his.
