Meh, he should be doing a whole lot more by now. I mean, when is he gonna get around to having people thrown into prison for saying, "Merry Christmas" now, huh? Here we are, already into yet another holiday season, and the "Christmas" crowd is <i>still</i> allowed to walk the streets as (semi-)free people. It's a disgrace!

Me and all of my Taker friends would be marching in protest by now, if we could stop downloading porn for a minute and get up off of our lazy fat asses.

And, of course, Supreme Sharia Court Justices.

The unemployment rate here in Minnesota is 4.8% with our liberal governor and democrat packed houses. We also are going to run a surplus so the schools can be paid back all the money that Tim Pawlenty robbed from them in an effort to balance the budget. Suck it wingnutz.
