2. Absolutely dead on

I'd like to donate that percentage to charity. Afterall, most of them are so goshdarned compassionate these days. Think they'll mind?

4. It's truly wayyyy past time for a major tea party

Without election reform we only have taxation without representation..

It's total bull.

Read the Declaration of Independence and see the acute similarities to *'s so called lame assed governance and that of the completely inept and faltering King George.

It's so-o-o sickening. Still trying to figure out what to throw in the harbor this time.

There's gotta be something that's non toxic and more appropriate for our times.

Smart cards simply wouldn't make the fish very happy. That is if there even are any after all the EPA rollbacks.

Ughhhhhh.
