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...

It was the ‘underwater origami’ thing that convinced me it was satire.

Apparently, it's real:

Those dividers are for the checker not the consumer

No such luck. I’m in Indianapolis. Our plans to have our Labor Day Dividers Across America Campaign fell though due to Labor Day sales at Walmart and Krogers.

There’s apparently a serial rapist on the loose in Ann Arbor but when police suggested that women not go out alone at night, the nags went ballistic at that “misogynistic” thinking.

Stupidity is usually self inflicted.

Jim Rob and those who live in California , our condolences and our pity goes out to you.

As in the same degree as the Global Warming Alarmist go ballistic that there is a big hot ball in the sky called the Sun ( our nearest star ) that incidentally keeps us all alive and gives life to every living thing here on earth, and incidentally heats up other planets... of course ? they would find a reason to ban the sun in the sky if they could.

I’m more annoyed by the lack or inaccessibility of the darn things when you want them.

The only conclusion that can be drawn is that people are stealing them ... if only to prove that they can.

No! you said walls keep people out...I said walls keep people divided!!!

[FreedomPoster]

I just got done doing the same thing. You can never tell with CA.

It's a checkout divider to some that can't spell!!!

" And as Anti-Global Warming as I am (100% anti), I think it’s poor form to spray diesel exhaust in anyone’s face. "

Bicyclists got to " SHARE THE ROAD " you know... it ain't like the car or truck driver's car or truck can just jump right out of the way for those bicyclists.

Democrat/progressive policy-making can be summed up simply: They focus effort on attention-getting non-problems, and ignore the real, hard problems.

Attention-getting non-problems:
- Gay Marriage
- Urban sprawl
- Global warming
- Peak Oil
- Resurgent racism

Real, hard problems:
- Fiscal solvency
- Coherent, simple tax policy

“Wash your mouth out with soap.”

If that offends you you sure as hell wouldn’t like me in person!

If ha;f the people don’t hate me i’ll change my ways and make sure they do in the future!

LOL!!!

Now I have to believe the article is real & not satire!

Too funny!!! :-)

Another article on the site, whose goal is to be a right-wing version of The Onion: London’s Week-Long Multicultural Festival Hailed as Success.

Very funny. All satire.
