The people of NJ, NY, and CT spend at the state and local levels like drunken sailors
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
In these ‘sensitive times’, allow me to take umbrage at the term ‘Drunken Sailors’.
Sailors, my self included, may be Drunken but never just waste money as pols seem to be want to do.
Why is it today ‘we’ are able to call Irish and Sailors derogatory names, yet we have pretty much stopped ‘picking on’ Polish, Italians and especially Middle Easterners.

So, as a (white...hmmm) Male, of Irish Descent and a (former) Sailor I wish people would cease and desist.

Thank You.

Please accept my humble apology. Liberals are far worse and the analogy gives drunken sailors a bad name. Sailors and others with the predilection to drink like myself (I am of Finnish ancestry) should never be used as a foil against liberals.
