You didn't hear... you read.

I am glad we could have his highness Joe Biden in our town.

Yes he did. Cops pay taxes too, and at his point in his career he probably pays more than half of the people on this board..

I'm not sure how your statement relates to my post at all.

I was merely pointing out how ironic it is that a cop, who is paid by tax-payers and often works to impede traffic, was complaining about someone who is paid by tax-payers impeding traffic.

Biden isn't important.

You get jokes.

I was just pointing out that he pays taxes too. So he has the right to complain as much as you and i do. Look at it this way, he has to pay a portion of his own salary. Sorry ti interfere with ur post, just addding my .02 is all.

The only reason I impede traffic is to clean up after some idiot makes a mess.

I'm sure I'm like most other people, there are parts of my job I don't like.

But to inconvenience thousands of people, so a guy can go watch a football game, when he's being paid by those same taxpayers, is wrong.

Just like I think it's wrong for the President to go on vacation on our dime.

When I go on vacation, I don't take from the city coffers to pay for my airfare and accommodations.

I saw they were sitting on every exit of the tollway, and even a few in between every exit. That's a little over kill IMO. I'm sure the SS can handle security without DPS at every single exit.

The question that no one has asked is "who the hell would want to harm Biden?"

Anyone who doesn't like the current administration? It's a gross overstatement, but I'd venture to guess that there's more than a few people wouldn't mind seeing bidens head as a wall hanging.

A little bit on what it says.


PLANO, Texas – Jan. 6, 2010 – A 1.5-mile stretch of the Dallas North Tollway will be closed Jan. 8-10 to
demolish the main lane toll plaza at Keller Springs Road on the Dallas North Tollway. Part of the North
Texas Tollway Authority’s move to cashless tolling, the weekend demolition will close all or most lanes in
both directions.
Saturday, Jan. 8, by 9 a.m. until Sunday, Jan. 9 by 3 p.m.
Full road closure north- and southbound between Keller Springs Road and Belt Line Road
Sunday, Jan. 9, from 3 p.m. until Monday, Jan. 10, by 5 a.m.
One lane open north- and southbound between Keller Springs Road and Belt Line Road
Monday, Jan. 10, by 5 a.m.
Closure ends; three lanes reopen north- and southbound between Keller Springs Road and Belt
Line Road
“The demolition is planned over the weekend when there is less traffic, and we expect to reopen all
three lanes in each direction before the Monday morning rush hour,” said Elizabeth Mow, NTTA director
of project delivery. “The closures are necessary to ensure the safety of drivers and crews as we remove
the overhead structures, supporting columns and toll booths.”

I hear ya and I agree. Just thought it was funny/ironic is all.
