Willard Mitt Romney didn't implement a 2001 law designed to combat racial profiling by the police.
In 2006 the local NAACP slammed Romney for referring to a perennially unfinished public works project in Boston, the Big Dig, as a "tar baby."
Just what elese can you expect from a LDS educated racists!

Nice handle, I remember watching Your TV show in the 60's.

Great, they can't balance the budget and watch this state sink, but worry about how we're going to carry groceries and sundries home..
I'm so proud to have this representation!

Five to ten pounds should be about right for a easy walk home.

And how many grebes have you seen swimming around jn Clear Lake with a plastic bag stuck to them?

Bag over the head works wonders.

In this great state there are:
2 million people out of work (my hubby being one of them);
7 million people with no health insurance (my hubby and I being two of them);
40% of the state is on food stamps (including hubby and me);
three cities (Stockton, Mammoth Lakes and San Bernardino) have filed for Chapter 9 bankruptcy in the last thirty days with more to follow

and this is all they care about. Some plastic bags? Gimme an f-ing break. I don't know why they did away with paper bags anyway. I always ask for paper at the store.

Ah, shucks.

Couldn't wait until Monday.

When is the Michelle is driving to Redlands, California?

Another big problem is loud music in clubs. I like to go out and watch my favorite rock or heavy metal band but the volume at some of these shows is just horrendous and can do damage to people who have sensitive hearing like m.

I think we should have a law that protects people from having to be exposed to these loud and harmful sounds. The FAA should mandate mufflers on any plane that creates a sound above 70 decibels.

It's just not fair that I can't go out and enjoy a night on the town without being exposed to dangerous levels of sound.

They should also ban these loud motorcycles that keep going up and down my street. And parents should NOT be allowed to have loud crying children in public. I think you should be given a citation if your child is crying or screaming in public for more than 30 seconds.

We need to make everyplace that I want to go safe for us with sensitive hearing. My doctor has told me that if I go into a boiler room for more than 3-4 hours my hearing can be permanently damaged and I may even go deaf. But I love boiler rooms and can't imagine not being able to be in one any longer.

PROTECT ME FROM GOING DEAF!!

PASS NOISE POLLUTION LAWS!!

Why dont retailers use biodegradeable bags?

we have been picking the plastic bags and trash up around outside of our property since we moved in. It would be helpful if Benz and apartment owners kept their lids closed on trash containers

Just can't get away from all the news storieslately about crooked politicans, mostly at the local city government level, we will call them Jr. Crooks.

But you know when your a big time crook when you can ly and run for president of united states under the Republican/GOP/Tea Party Nation members banner of honsty?
Honestly I'm lying my 'bucks' off - Willard Mitt Romney, Crooks.

Or is that River Prance?

Good idea.. won't help you not get shot though.. or robbed.. or both.. but it will definitely have a big impact on the landfills.. it's a responsible governmenty thing to do.

Red tops are the best, never need to be checked.

Long Beach only imposes its Lowenthal grocery and goods bag harassment tax on those who pay for their own groceries. The majority of city residents "pay" for their "free" food with taxpayer provided food stamps. They are exempt from paying the Lowenthal harassment tax "BY LAW". The cost of providing "free" grocery bags to the city's food stamp using majority is built into the price of food the city's taxpaying minority is charged.
