Last Friday night I had a chance to head into the big city (Atlanta) for a little culture. I have three young children at home and it was a rare opportunity for me to venture out of Suburbia.....

[Bikers4Bush]

Lol!

[sauropod]

Shut up hippy! LOL!

[shield]

How funny....I needed a good laugh today. ;o)

Harley made campaign contributions to Bush.

You encountered one of the dreaded RUBbies. The Rising Urban Bikers. These are usually johnny-come-lately types who got their Harley recently, ride mybe 1K miles a year, wear long haired wigs and phony transfer tattoos. They are a huge joke amongst the real crowd who proudly fly the flag.

The group that has experienced a very high death rate due to their new hobby.

[GoLightly]

You are very brave. I stopped spending any money in the city (blue zone) a number of years ago.

I hear you! One of my husband's band mates owns a few Harleys and he is more conservative than me so I know I was sweeping with a broad brush!

[hilaryrhymeswithrich]

I have my mace handy!

[GOP_1900AD]

And Atlanta is, relative to others on both coasts, a "conservative" city! Here in the occupied Gay Area, we are on the verge of circling the wagons and digging trenches!

[stevio]

That's a start. Stay safe.

Where else could I see such great lines as here!

Cordially,

Not all of us Bikers are Liberals and in fact, my guess is that most of us are conservatives.....well, the ones that count are!! LOL

If I get a chance to see some of my money before you blow it on insense and Greatful Dead bootlegs I say yippee!!!!!”

Not all of us Deadheads are either! Im quite proud of my Grateful Dead bootleg collection..!

[MrB]

asked him if he sent his tax cut back, the dumbass hypocrite

Revised:
"If you earned enough income to get a tax cut, did you send it back, or are you just a dumbass hypocrite?"

"Not all of us Deadheads are either! Im quite proud of my Grateful Dead bootleg collection..!"

Me too!

Best tape I have is from The Netherlands (I believe) and has a 40 minute Dark Star, while Pigpen was still alive!

[Gritty]

He probably secretly "borrowed" the Harley from his much more manly brother.

[Andy from Beaverton]

I thought this was going to be a story about my home state of Orygun.

[jla]

You're terrific, Kate!
Glad you're on our side.

A long time biker I know says that the newbies are dangerous to ride with. They are inevidabley 55 and over and need training wheels.

If the numbers are correct, sixty percent of all boomer males vote Republican. I read some article the other day by Kyle Williams accusing boomers of stealing his future. He castigated Kerry for being a typical liberal boomer. He's right that Kerry is a lib, but he's not a boomer. He was born before 1946. Sorry Kyle, you'll have to find some other scapegoat.

[hilaryrhymeswithrich]

All in all, one of the reasons I love this area is because it is very conservative, but every once in a while I come across a lib and actually, I enjoy torturing them.
