Oh, yea! By all means let’s give these people full representation in both houses!

[mamelukesabre]

hahaha. I bet the dingbat votes democrat and donates to greenpeace

[DB]

Easy to fix.

Put the paper in the recycling bin.

Never mind that its loaded with kitty crap...

[HiTech RedNeck]

She’s got to buy a recycler’s license or sumfin.

[mnehring]

Huh?

[MaxMax]

Dutiful Lefty gets crapped on and finds reality in voting consequences.
"That will never happen to me"

[Poison Pill]

she will continue to fight the citations and continue to dispose of her cat's litter in the trash and not in the recycling bin.

Good thing too. It has to be a violation of Federal EPA Hazmat regs to throw cat shit in the recycle bin.

[Sequoyah101]

So just what are you supposed to do with it?

Lost enough freedoms yet? Paying for enough useless things and public employees yet? I’d say we have gone far enough when we collect enough tax money to pay for people to dig through trash looking for cat crap.

You are so right.

[mamelukesabre]

I’d probably be thinking about throwing away a bear trap the week after. A set bear trap.

[Sequoyah101]

I think I’d go into the maggot farming business and give the sorry bastards something really interesting to find while they are digging in the trash looking for violations.

Another alternative is to take it to the dumpsters at chitty hall for disposal or carry it in fast food bags to the office of the inspectors and the judge.

All public employees need to be term limited so they can experience the private sector. Retire public pension plans and benefits. We are creating a dependent class of elites that are a cancer on society. It takes about one day to train a public works worker. Most private sector workers are more than qualified to do this job for two years and then return to the private sector.

[Inyo-Mono]

Amazing. I throw whatever I want in the trash (we don’t have recycling bins) and no one looks at it.

Simple to fix this problem, just put the shredded paper in the recycle bin. You get to be rid of the trash and they get to sort through your cat’s s##t. Not only do you get to be green but you have the dividend of sending a message to the Public Works Department in DC. I say if they are going to give you crap, just give it right back and more. Put a wastepaper basket in your bathroom, like they do south of the boarder and let them have all the paper.
Pretty green huh, and disgusting.

[Ken H]

Wait a minute. I read it as saying she is being fined for putting old newspapers and junk mail in the trash, not the cat poop itself.

[bamahead]

Kitty litter ping.

[bamahead]

The city’s stance is she should be recycling the cat poop & pee laden paper, not tossing it.

[Stosh]

How do you recycle cat feces?

Feed ‘em back to the cat?

(yeah, okay, I know it might work with dogs . . .)
