            Unless you’re black, one-legged or homosexual. you’d be wasting your time, my friend.

              I don’t think one-legged counts, unless you’re a lesbian, non-white, liberal etc. Mind you even then there are various hierarchies, for example a black lesbian is more equal than a white lesbian, unless she’s a conservative. It’s far more tricky if you’re a muslim, then the whole theory turns to crap, it’s all very confusing.

    Legalized kidnapping:
    ‘A dozen men are suing the state of Utah in federal court because of a law that allows mothers to put their babies up for adoption without the biological father’s consent, or sometimes even knowledge. The civil rights lawsuit claims the Utah Adoption Act has resulted in what amounts to “legalized fraud and kidnapping.”..’

      What Ronbo Does On A Boring Day In Leftist Seattle

      Many working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting. Well, for example, the other day I went downtown and into a shop. I was only there for about 5 minutes, and when I came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket. I said to him, “Come on, man, how about giving a retired person a break”?

      He ignored me and continued writing the ticket.

      I called him a “Nazi.” He glared at me and wrote another ticket for having worn tires. So I called him a “doughnut eating Gestapo.” He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first.Then he wrote a third ticket. This went on for about 20 minutes. The more I abused him the more tickets he wrote.

      Personally, I didn’t care. I came downtown on the bus, and the car that he was putting the tickets on had a bumper sticker that said, “Hillary in ’16.”

      I try to have a little fun each day with Leftists now that I’m retired. It’s very important to my mental health.http://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_yahoo.gif

        There was a story today that our foreign service department wants to establish standards for how our ambassadors are chosen.Seems we aren’t sending the right sort to do the job.

        I say wait until this administration is over.They seem to have the opinion that ambassadors are expendable so no sense in sending our best and brightest just yet.

    “Seems smoking Pot and doing construction layout don’t go together”
    Ain’t that the truth! I once supervised a boatbuilding crew who were heavy users of the weed and several other substances as well. I didn’t mind too much, so long as they got the job done. They were actually a damn good crew. Until pails of catalyzed resin began smoking and bursting into flames, and whole sections of a very large mould were gunned up and nobody noticed the catalyst flow meter was showing close to zero…. :mrgreen:
    It hadn’t happened before because the old hands worked pretty much on autopilot and knew not to push things too far. The new guys thought it was open slather.
    After that, it was strictly no rolling up at work. Tolerance has its limits.

      I suppose there were large buckets of MEK in their future after that one? :mrgreen:

    The leftys are all butt hurt this morning after the vote to unionize Volkswagon in Tennesse failed.

    “THE STATE OF WYOMING is suing the Environmental Protection Agency in a bid to reverse a sweeping agency ruling that transferred more than 1 million acres of land — including an entire city — to Native American tribes.’”

    Believe it or not, this may allow development of formerly off limits federal land. In my state of Washington, the Feds recently turned over considerable acres of prime forest to a local tribe.

    I need not have to tell you that the Feds allowed no timber cutting, or anything else happening there, aside from a few trails the tree huggers loved to walk in the nude on warm summer nights while smoking pot.

    Anyhow, when the Indians took title to the forest, they immediately signed a contract with a lumber company to go chop down some trees and make some money, to the delight of laid off lumber jacks, and to the vast profit of the formerly poor Indian tribe, who can now burn their FEMA trailers to move into more comfortable quarters.

    QUID PRO QUO, heh :?: :mrgreen:

    The tree huggers are most unhappy, but understand the Indians will go on the warpath if they try to stop the chop :!: http://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_yahoo.gif

    Wherever I surf, my attention keeps being drawn by reports that US gov agencies are purchasing enormous quantities of hollow point ammo. Not for target practice, note, hollow point. Should us Brits ask if our lot have bought any Zyklon B recently? When the sh*t hits the fan there, there will be shooting, here; we’ll walk into the gas chambers. Zero Hedge notes that they are already talking about nicking our pension funds. F*ck, I’m getting worried.
