Seems Vermont lacks 'common' and 'sense' dealing with 'Irish' license plate

Ouch!

It is the same in Maine and many other states. The urban papershuffling areas are liberal leftist and the rural producing areas conservative with little voice in the state's cultural or affairs. As old as Rome.

). But the Vermont story is true. In denying the lady her "Irish" plate, Vermont has cited its law against plates that "might be offensive or confusing to the general public."

Well, I for one am exceptionally allergic to Leprechauns and find anything resembling a reference to them offensive...See! I'm breaking out in hives already...where that lawyers number...

In my state, we consider any license plate with the word "Vermont" to be offensive.

Excuse me, but we're going to discuss "Guinness" please refer to it by it's proper name : "Nectar of the Heavens", thank you.

Funny that's what I call Lagavulin ... I never developed a taste for beer ... now champagne ... that's another story! &;-)

Common Sense? Y'all have to be kidding. A rinky dink state that sends two socialist senators to congress and blocks the will of 250,000,000 Americans..

Duh.......

How big is your Bumper!?

Put all the words on there you want!!!!!!!!!!

[Elsie]

make a mocked-up plate with your wanted word and paste it on your trunk lid.

[Mr. Thorne]

There's no such thing as "too much Guinness"

[wattsmag2]

How about this one for Vermont?

Obviously you are an individual of taste and culture.

Lagavulin, Dalwhinnie, Craggenmore...the whole series... great stuff! Although the Lagavulin is so smokey/peaty that it overpowers the cigars!

If you're interested, here's something I think you'll also enjoy here.

Vermont ain't been right since Ethan Allen died. It's surrounded by leftist Clymer areas on all sides, and even has to contend with French-speaking leftists on the North end. (They are the worst kind of leftists) Even New Hampshire, (a potential refuge) has been overrun by Massholes who name their children after various members of the Kennedy Klan and are too lazy to take their own garbage to the dump. Thank God these people cannot commute to their public sector jobs, or pick up Massachusetts Food Stamps in Maine. We got it bad enough here, what with high taxes, an anti-business bias and Mississippi-like rural poverty.

We do receive foreign aid in Maine. The Colombians subsidize any number of fishermen who can find a mothership in a fogbank.
