Bullies like Bloomberg and Obama always go after the food. They know it’s an important thing to people, so their sadistic souls seek to alter the balance and reduce the supply. There should be a category in the DSM for this—some official-sounding name for Demonic Desire to Alter Other People’s Food.

You know, I think you're on to something. I was talking to a lady who works at Gray Gourmet- the lunch program for seniors- the Michelle Obama portion size mandate extends to old people's lunches too, it seems.

They are no longer allowed to serve seconds or give larger portions to those who are hungry. The new rules are that everyone gets exactly one serving size- 1 scoop- and NO more, no matter what. So a big man gets exactly as much as a little, tiny old lady, no exceptions.

“O farmers”, said the Moochelle then,
“You’ve had a pleasant run...
Shall we be going home again?”
But answer came there none.
And this was scarcely odd, because
They’d shut down every one.

We know where this is going. One of the lefts cronies will get this piece of property in some deal. Oysters will become a staple of the very wealthy while for the proles it will be a crime to be caught with an oyster.

It’s time for you mercenary secret service morons to make a decision about whether you back the American people or a commie goon.

I’d suggest you review what happened to Khadaffi’s elite guard.

“wilderness” designation is only an excuse to shut out business, be it cattle ranching, like in New Mexico, forestry like in the northwest or coal like in Utah. They have been working at killing our economy for some time. People are only now starting to notice.

You too memorized it! The tell is “going” vs. “trotting.”
Just as those who memorize Prufrock mistake “went” for “fell” asleep...
Dear Lord how I love Freepers....
And the idea of a Moochelle as a sort of Seuss or Silverstein character. What an idea! Opening lines might include:

M is for Moochelle, whose weapons of defense
are brobdignan gluteus maximii... And common sense.
