Fewer 0bama/Hillary voters. Maybe not, dead people always seem to vote democrat.

That's a 'rounding error' of one afternoon's activity in Obama's Chicongo.

Hey you don’t know me, but you don’t like me
You say you care less how I feel
But how many of you that sit and judge me
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?

[PROCON]

Hmm, global warming’s worse than I thought.

By Friday Diane feinstein will be screaming for some for of gun confiscation.

[Paulie]

That’s some FORM of gun confiscation.

[Mark17]

She probably will. Good tagline bro.

[litehaus]

Any danger they’ll push Chicago out of first place??

[Paulie]

Thanks.

I looked up Bakersfield on Wikipedia because I always thought it was more rural than urban and was surprised at all these shootings. That's where I learned this interesting fact: "The biggest exports are smog and ignorance." Yes, thats a true fact straight from Wikipedia.

However some people say Wikipedia isn't accurate or reliable and I think based on the above I'd have to agree. Recently the biggest export from Bakersfield is bullet ridden corpses, not ignorance. Maybe they just messed up and they meant that their biggest import is ignorance? That might make sense.

Chicago had 69 shootings over the 3 day Memorial Day weekend. 6 out of the 69 killed.

. 6 out of the 69 killed.

They need more range time.

[T-Bone Texan]

Keep in mind the killers are about 100% Mexican.

And the ethnicity of the perps and victims was primarily......

Bakersfield is actually pretty safe if you stay out of certain parts of town. Don’t go near MLK or Cesar Chavez Blvd’s.

[dfwgator]

Yeah, I suspect the Okies are long gone.

[dfwgator]

Don’t go near MLK or Cesar Chavez Blvd’s.

That goes for ANY city. Unless you want to score drugs.

[Mouton]

Don’t go near MLK or Cesar Chavez Blvd’s.

That is like a beacon saying: stay away, radioactive zone.
