COMMENT
When I saw the headline it looked like someone in Florida was doing humanity a favor and getting rid of Demorats.
I wonder if Al Sharptongue, Jessie jackass or Osamma Obamma know that this is going on.
I would imagine they would be against anything being wiped out that was associated with that great continent of democratic governments with the ability to feed themselves and not to be a drag on the rest of the world (sarcasm).

So if one gets blown up by a mine, does the handler say Oh Rats?

Did someone call for an African 'Rat?
To: Redcitizen
Whoopee, rats the size of cats.
They should see Chicago River Rats. They're the size of a small pony. (I exaggerate only slightly, the things are HUGH!)(I'm SERIES)
