You get it.
Thanks for posting.
I guess I am not the only one here.

And what counter would this be? I buy it right off the shelf in my supermarket....I do however use it for cleaning, cooking, the cat box and other household uses. If this moron passes this bill he can come clean my house for me. Why we have morons like this elected I will never understand.

We have the same group in CT. One Rep wants to restrict the treatment of elephants in the state. On it's face it sounds ridiculous enough but it's more so considering only one person in the state owns three elephants. Compounding the lunacy is the fact the same socialist crowd refuses to support passing a law requiring repeat sex offenders to wear ankle bracelets.

Funny thing is, Rudy is already self-imploding. The more he talks, the more people realize he is just another left wing liberal : )

[Man50D]

Who the f*@k is this guy? How the hell am I supposed to make my sugar-cookie suicide vests without the baking soda?!

Use Kool Aid.

Elephants?? Oh they are one of my very favorite animals. What does this moron want to do to them? Not allow someone to have them? I hope not. I would love to have one but its not ever going to happen. If the elephants are being harmed I can understand trying to make it better for them but if they aren’t what is his problem? Why don’t these arses we elect do something worthwhile for the money they get??.... As for sex offenders I say just leave them forever in general prison population & let them fend for themselves. Shaking my head again..~P~

Way, way overboard.

This is the same thing lawmakers did with pseudo-ephedrine, placing it behind the counter and taking the names and addresses of buyers. That law did place a serious crimp in methamphetamine production.

I laugh about this it only moved production elsewhere.

We are all in mortal danger from these fools.

I think for the most part you are sadly correct. I also think they ought to drug/alcohol test each and every elected official. If they can drug test the rest of us they need to be tested too. Maybe after they reach the age of 65 they ought to be tested for dementia too. If they come up positive or demented then we can remove them asap from making anymore moronic decisions for us.

That law did place a serious crimp in methamphetamine production.

Huh? Where does this dimwit get his information? The vast majority of this crap now comes from Mexico (which is where a lot of it always came from). Restricting retail pseudoephedrine sales in the US didn't put a crimp in meth production anymore than restricting baking soda sales would put a crimp in crack production. We have fewer meth labs in the US now because more is being made in Mexico for sale in the US. Mexico has recently begun cracking down on LEGAL import of bulk pseudoephedrine, but given the general lawlessness there and the government's demonstrated inability to maintain law and order, there's no reason to think that the same amounts won't just be imported illegally or even produced in Mexico.

Seems Talibdin El-Amin, formally known as Mark Bastain, is also a deadbeat dad.

Maybe they'll catch him the next time he buys a hunting license.

[freemike]

Well, I think it is high time to go after Big Baking Soda! One box a month and no more!!
We will have to be on the alert for CNN specials about the perils of baking soda now. The “secret inside dark world” of baking soda groupies! I can see it now,, Undercover 20/20 reporter goes deep inside Arm and Hammer and exposes the truth kept hidden from the public!” Maybe the Dems could hold hearings in congress. I want to laugh this,, but the truth is,, these nuts are serious! If it were left up to these idiots I could only imagine the horror we would all be forced to live in.

[TigersEye]

He’ll take away my Arm & Hammer from my cold dead arm with my hammer planted firmly in his forehead. ; )

[pandoraou812]

lmao I can picture that...Seriously though I do find it to be a great cleaner & its better for Lela. What are these morons thinking and how do they come up with these ideas? I am all for the drug/alcohol/dementia testing. We should be demanding it...Something is not quite right with these people..~P~

[TigersEye]

Hopefully he’ll get picked up by the FBI in a sweep of terrorist cells soon. (did I day that out loud?)

[lastchance]

So that’s it. The end of the paper maiche’ volcano.
I hope everyone has another project in mind for the Science Fair.
