…prepare yourself for the asshole cops…
Just think: If you just keep voting for more and more government, eventually the nanny-state might find a way to stuff you back up into your mammy’s womb. Or, failing that, they’ll exterminate you and everyone you know and love. Either way, the world will finally be rid of the pestilence of pesky humanity.
Black humor? No shit. But at least you don’t have to wonder who’s the asswipe now…

I suggest an immediate ban on colonoscopies.
True, colorectal cancer is an insidious disease, but can we truly afford the strain on our resources brought on by the preoperative prep and subsequent multiple flushes of the toilet?
Beginning immediately, medical officials will be issuing recyled CREC’s (colorectal emmitant containers), in an effort to restrain this nation’s insatiable appetite for living healthier and longer lives.

I see a money-making opportunity here for somebody to create the necessary technology to make the recycled product softer and more appealing… 🙂

I can just hear it now: “Aren’t you tired of going soft? Use our NEW John Wayne Toilet paper: it’s rough, tough and doesn’t take any crap from people, but it is sensitive to the environment.”

I read the linked article and saw that the “good and just” company was MarCal. Any product of the Cherry Hill school system will remember MarCal- its bathroom tissue felt like it was made from bark rather than refined pulp.
What is interesting to me is that MarCal is pulling a Wal-Mart: https://www.bloodhoundrealty.com/BloodhoundBlog/?p=9101
That stunt is to legislate your competitors, who offer a product the customer really wants, out of business or (even worse), insist that they “play fair” (while redefining what “fair” is).

One of our freedoms is to buy what we want. But, the current government can’t allow that, can they? Just ask the Diversity Director of the FCC who want to dictate to radio stations what they must play, whether anyone wants to hear it or not. I appreciate the bathroom humor. At least they will let us use recycled paper instead of sand…

Leave it to some New Jersey wacko to give the rest of us another black eye. They were playing a sound bit on local public radio today and in it some woman was asking why New Jersey does not have any tax on Gas. The first thought that came into my head was “because New Jersey has a tax on everything else”.

Oh, come on, Greg, you’re not even using a broad brush anymore, you fired up your paint sprayer!
Consider: this week, the Senate added a rider to the FAA reauthorization bill that would make it illegal for airlines to hold passengers longer than three hours on a tarmac.
Anyone who’s had to sit on a tarmac for hours will surely agree that: 1) “the market” failed its customers, 2) this change is long overdue and, 3) in this case, government *is* the answer.
So, please, guys, put away the paint guns, government is not *always* the problem and less government is not *always* the answer.
