#1 Nothing has been the same since Ted Kennedy died. They've all gone unhinged in the sanctuary of the damned. Close the borders, allow no one in or out.

#4 "We cannot have that. It's going to spin out of control."
Typical leftist bureaucrat. It's going against me, so stop the voting! Technical difficulties. We'll try again, say at 3am in the middle of a howling blizzard.

#7 Of course a store might sell cigarette boxes for 3 dollars and the actual cigarettes are free. Free Chewing tobacco but the snuff can is $2. Actually they may be able to avoid tobacco taxes and have really low pics on boxes and cans.

#10 "Nobody is showing any respect to the board"

That's because you don't deserve any respect.

Idiots.

#11 Nobody quite so puritanical as Progressives on a crusade. Remember the 18th Amendment? Progressives, just like the 17th (ripped Senate away from the states) and 16th (Income tax) amendments.

Progressivism is a mental disease.

#12 An incurable mental disease I might add.

#13 Oh, there's a cure, B, but I'm pretty sure it's illegal to do it to them.
