I’ve been in MA my whole life, and we have no shortage of loons. All my neighbors are loons. They still have Bernie signs on their lawn.

Aren’t there already enough inbred loons in Massachusetts?

The Loon Count in MA goes down by one every time Kerry leaves.

It isn’t that hard. Just contact your name sake in Portland OR. They are an ultra liberal state so they should be able to supply you with a whole lot of loons.

In Portland, that shouldn't be too hard to do.

I was under the impression that there is an over abundance of loons in Massachusetts.
