When the do-do hits the fan, you better be prepared to protect yourself and your family. The po-po will probably be too busy to help.
Always something smart to say but too much of a coward to sign your name to it.
Your name and address please!
Al, obviously smarter than anything you have to say.
You liberals, always hating when someone tells it like it is.
