The one thing I’ve learned is that when it comes to information, it pays to be informed. One should never debate the facts of an issue without factoring the facts. That’s like eating blueberries when you know you are colored blind or really crave bananas. That’s just insane.
Now, insanity is indeed a curious thing. Mix insanity with proportional amounts of paranoia and stupidity—shaken or stirred—and you get the likes of Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA), Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-MN), Minority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) … Bozo the Clown.
Beck fears the National Endowment of the Arts is an Obama propaganda machine. Hannity insists he’s intelligent. Grassley fears all plugged in medical devices. Bachmann wants to fast and pray for deliverance from healthcare reform and obligations to think. McConnell and McCain insist on insisting on things not relevant. And Bozo the Clown was our 43rd President. There ought to be a law or laws protecting we the citizens of the United States from such insanity, or from sycophants self-idolizing sociopathic sociopolitical alphabet soup eaters. We need laws, a system of rules, usually enforced through a set of institutions: public, private and psychiatric. So, I’ve researched legal opinion and precedent throughout the United States via the internet; this is but a few true examples of what I discovered….

being from Ct. I'm partial to the bouncing pickle

OS late night has a certain vibe... it kind of tickles you.

I think McConnell is a government experimental Zombie.

In Alaska you shoot the mooses.
The Kentucky thing will stay in my head causing
"wonder why" for a long time.
McConnell experimental government Zombie? Just like one of Floyd Elliot's zombie fucktards....and you know, when I knew him back in the 70s, he was one of the most wide-ranging and eclectic thinkers I'd ever met. That's what Washington does to a man, when the man is willing.
satire...

I thank you... it was Bozo that brought it together.

I look at McConnell and see term limits
And the Louisiana one is perfect: It's like the keystone cops around here much of the time and this law proves it!
I live in Florida and can tell you that you haven't had sex until you've had sex with a porcupine. I guarantee you won't soon forget the experience.
What a way to start a Wednesday! Always remember, Life is just a bowl of Larrys...

Thanks, for not watching ,or telling, while I busted up those fine laws in my hedonistic pursuits. Criss-crossing this country always had the fun, yet fearful, flavor, factor but, gulp! Do me a favor on the snooze front, pills work great for that sh##, Nyquil seems to temporarily F-up the insane part of a creative mind so..... proceed with caution! mon. Good Yuks as always!
Wow!!! Thanks for the warning, I could've been in big trouble!
Having sexual relations with a porcupine is illegal."
But Anita Bryant is okay?
In New York a single finger is raised as a salutation.
In South Carolina, that's why the governor travelled to Argentina.
Hope you enjoyed these. Rated.
Note to self -- check to see if there's a fugitive warrant out on me from my time in South Carolina.
Utah -- I sensibly stop at "mass destruction."
It's true -- there are no circles in Indiana.
Kansas -- The Atchison Topeka never gets to Santa Fe.
Nebraska -- this explains the overpopulation of humpbacks in the Platte River.
Florida -- If ya want .... I know a guy. I'm just sayin.
I never understood baking laws
