Damn you got good shit. I always remember who I am, although I often lose my car keys.


Course conservatives walk backwards.


Micheal Jackson's a conservative?!?!?
Who knows of the bleachy? If I fuck up I lose my life lots more fun than car keys!

Hmmm...except for Sweden. Sweden is a true Scotsman.
You mean Switzerland where many issues (like does the guy next door get citizenship) are decided by popular vote.
