Ethics reform being blocked in the Senate? Sounds like Emil has become Pate v2.0.

Mayor Daley is using “magical thinking” to justify disarming the public. Example: If we get rid of the guns, we will get rid of the violence. I wish it was that simple.

The Indiana people were acting like 2 bit ward heelers.

Too bad there isn’t a way to give them a kick in the rear.

Yay for horse slaughter. I cannot beleive this is as big an issue as it is.
Wumpus favorite fathers day recipe.
1. Take a horse,
2. Force feed goose down it’s throat
3. Slaughter the horse
4. Cook it on a barrel charcoal grill

Yum!

What Pro-gunner said.

The Horse Slaughter facility should be converted to a deer processing one. This state is tremendously overpopulated with deer. They cause vehicular crashes, death and serious injury, massive crop damage etc. They have no natural predators to control their numbers AND fitness other than chronic wasting disease. We’re not talking about some cute little Bambi here, they are a menace.

Amen to what A Citizen wrote! with all the work
on recycling, we should be processing the overpop
due to lack of natural predators. while we are
at it, can someone create a roadkill fur reclamation
project?

Frogs are a menace.They should be processed as well.
