OT - Gas Tax Holiday

If I understand what Senators Clinton and McCain are saying, they want
to have the gas tax stopped during the summer months. It would start
on Memorial Day, May 26, through Labor Day, September 1. Remember,
Memorial Day is only a couple weeks away. Nice idea, right?

Am I wrong in thinking this would have to be approved by Congress and
President Bush? Putting aside the latter, when has Congress ever
moved that quickly?

Have any of you seen the Comcast TV turtles commercials?

If you've ever watched C-Span or C-Span2, you know Congress, both the
House and Senate, moves about as fast as Bill Slowsky does.
