Thank you, Tim Pawlenty, for making this one turn out right. It's about time we treat our vets at least as good as we treat our sex offenders.

BS. Pawlenty is the worst kind of politician. He saw an opportunity to score political points and he jumped on it. The media coverage this matter is disgusting.

Way to go Gov. Pawlenty! and memo to the editor of this story - let's quit with the newspeak - call a spade a spade - a sex-offender treatment facility is a prison. Quit playing the redefinition game.

I took it upon myself to fix your obvious typo. You're welcome!

On another comment board, some liberals have argued that the sex offenders shouldn't have the TVs taken away and if they can't have them, the veterans shouldn't get them either.

Apparently implying that disabled vets and sex offenders undergoing treatment are basically on the same moral footing.

I'd move my family out here quicker than a dumbocrap changes the rules, except I can't afford to right now.

This state is hugely el sucko dickey.

Daily Horoscope for December 26

Aquarius

If you're still happily munching chocolates and all sorts of other goodies, you'll have to take yourself in hand at some point during the coming fortnight. Maybe you'll have to compensate for all the festive over-eating by taking more exercise or cutting back on the calories, or perhaps you'll decide that you can't delay giving up smoking any longer. As Mercury turns in your twelfth house of secrets, messages you receive at this time may be very subtle or contain hidden meanings meant only for your understanding.
