I thought it was about the way that the queen drives the workers to death feeding and caring for her sorry azz. Sort of like Shillery's book, "It Takes a Hive". Or the other one "Living High".

The local paper only comes out 2 days a week and hubby usually remembers to get it for me - I always get it first.
On sunday we get a minimum of 3 papers, so we each have one first!!!!

I've thought about calling the News and letting them know that for the most part our area is a bedroom community and people tend to leave early to get to their jobs some 20+ miles away. If the paper cannot be there EARLY it is no good to us. Yesterday it was 7, and today 6:30...sheesh!

Can you believe this guy?????????????
I believe the MADD issue and the gun issue both come from women not knowing their place. The bible says they should not speak in church, I have to believe that should also apply to politics. If women were in homes taking care of kids instead of in the world doing mens things, kids would actually be taken care of and a lot of men would actually stay with them instead of breeding them and leaving. I guess I bitch a lot about this because I have an almost perfect wife but I live in a neighborhood full of delinquent bastards.
