SAN FRANCISCO —Melody Studebaker stands solemnly outside the Fort Mason Safeway grocery store, along side her long term partner, Henrietta...

Studebaker, 62, and her partner, 60, are picketing the Safeway store this beautiful morning to draw attention to a most ugly practice within it. After a lifetime of witnessing the use of grocery store checkout line dividers, Strudebaker and her partner have had enough...

Then I saw the picture of Melody Studebaker, who looks like the grill of a ‘49 Commander and had second thoughts.

My favorite line from the Broadway musical Guys and Dolls, which opened in 1950--"I hope you get stabbed by a Studebaker."

And medians--they separate hundreds of commuters every day. And side walks--and, oh the horror--fences! And then there are the walls of our houses--the separate members of our families.

How have we lived so long without understanding how evil these "dividers" are? Now--being sufficiently outraged and ashamed of failing to be "one with my neighbor"--the next time I'm in line at my local grocery store I shall remove every divider that separates my items from those of other people in line, and let them pay for them!

“I usually look for something outlandish...”

It was the ‘underwater origami’ thing that convinced me it was satire. But I could believe there are lefties who actually think this way.

I only wish this was real. Banning inanimate objects from the grocery checkout lane is a good thing for libtard California, for it would ban food and beverages from being purchased (they are inanimate object, after all).

So, that would, in essence, starve out the entire state... cleansing it of all the libtards. After the last one died, we could then move in and reestablish a functioning, non-libtard state.

OK then. I guess I should stop using tampons because they are a reminder of the division between men’s bodies and women. I’ll just bleed everywhere now and make us all ‘one in the world’.

That’s a funny, funny post, EveningStar. Thanks for bringing a smile to this ugly-looking (but not as ugly as your article’s character) face!

It’s a 20th century invention. Don’t worry about it.

We all know what melody and henreitta want to use those 16" rubber thingys for.

I'm not sure which is worse, an old gay fag queen or an old gay bull dyke.

It sounds more like liberals trying to find some reason to find racism, sexism, or whateverism in anything and everything they see or find.
A liberal's life is truly a mental disorder and miserable.

I was in my local K-Mart a few weeks ago, and I had roughly about $20.00 worth of merchandise. The man in back of me had a $110.00 tool chest that he had on a flatbed roller waiting his turn. It wasn’t up on the pulley. When I looked at my final receipt, the cashier had rung up his tool chest with my meager purchases. She said she just assumed he was with me. I was more than a little ticked. I had to go to customer service to have it removed from my credit card, but it took the credit card company nearly a week to remove the charge.

The moral of this story is you have to watch as your purchases are being rung up. Gosh only knows what the cashier is thinking.

"Studebaker, a retired poetry teacher and underwater origami instructor."

This kind of says it all ...

What you are seeing folks is ( Hopefully ) the beginning of the end of liberalism.
Liberalism has run it's course in the evolution ( no, I am not a evolutionist, please keep this in context, just pointing out the irony ) of our recent history in society.
Liberals, humanist, or whateverist live by evolution, or anti-god, then, they go into extinction by their own living standards.
The liberals have nothing else, they are at their breaking point, they are at the end of their road and it's all for the better for the rest of us.

Good luck with that. I’m not old and decrepit, and I can’t be persuaded to give up.
