Would you like to be added to my RUSH IN A HURRY PING list?

It seems to me that Rush’s words above are coming to fruition.

Yes, to an extent. The missing connection is LOVE, here. In the circumstances about which I speak there is no love.

>>first one’s crying the blues

That’s why in a perverse way, I’m looking forward, well, not quite that eager, to the plethora of restrictions and taxes and fees that will come outta this whole CapNTrade thingie from Waxman and Markey.

They’re not socialists, they’re CONTROL FREAKS.

Uh...it's not like socialists and control freaks are mutually exclusive.

Not by a long shot.

Yeah, I know.

I just wanted to use the words “CONTROL FREAKS” for added emphasis.

I'd kinda like to be on that one.

Or is it the "Good Grief, What on Earth is Michelle Wearing Now?" list?

Some Freeper Fashionistas (especially the Southerners) like to use the term “BLESS HER HEART.”

Where were these restaurant owners when there were public hearings on this law?
I didn’t see them - I was there...

The law also makes it illegal to smoke in any hotel room in Boston and also on loading docks.

Boston = The InHospitality City

It will also destroy the Convention Trade.

Being southern, I totally get that one.

Or as my dear departed southern lady of a mother would say...."Oh, dear."

I will add you to the Fashion Police list, if you’d like.

Oh, by the way, Nancy Regan to lunch with Michelle at the White House tomorrow.

YES! Not only bans, but some improvements to America’s QOL.

-Excessive food portions in restaurants.

-Unrestricted gasoline sales to individuals.

-Smart Thermostats to keep indoor temperatures at a federally prescribed level.

-Plastic bags and paper bags. Bring your own when you food shop.

-Mandatory car pooling.

-Helmetless drivers in cars.

-Food animals that cause global warming and pollution.

-A tax on packaged foods.

I’ll come up with more.

Here’s another snicker for everyone:

RUSH PIMPS SMOKING.

That’s a standard line.

LOL! I saw that.

That is something.

I never thought of taxing frying oil.

See, when you put your mind to it, there’s virtually nothing that’s not taxable.

And now, we even have the capacity, like in the old Monty Python skit, to tax “thingie”.

Why should people who have consistent orgasms not be taxed?

Huh? Huh? Why not. If freedom ain’t free, neither should orgasms. And don’t red herring me that men pay. The money goes to the woman, not the government. Both parties should pay.
