Raising a Stink about Politics

[dudeman]

It seems a "citizen" aired her opinion about her "representative:"

Jury Seated for dog doo case

Perhaps the general populace is beginning to catch a whiff of the scam and realize what a waste the whole system is. The crooks seem to think they can flush out the dissent and maintain their tyranny but the masses eventually will wipe it away.

The key to the perpetrators case may be her re-butt-al witnesses.

That's funny.

Reminds me of what I did to get off a mailing list one time. I kept getting stuff after repeatedly requesting to be removed from the list. Finally I found a nice box, filled it with quite heavy gravel, taped the Business Reply Envelope from the offending mailer to the outside of the box along with a note requesting to be removed from their list. I never heard from them again. I can't even imagine what the postage must have cost them to get that box of gravel from me!

"This was a ghastly waste of time. It was a political vendetta on the part of the Weld County District Attorney, Ken Buck," [accused poop-dropper Kathy Ensz] said. "It was a total waste of money, the taxpayers' money."

Buck begged to differ.

"Public officials should be protected from this type of conduct," he said.

["Representative"] Musgrave has received death threats in the past, and has had to have Secret Service protection because of it, Buck and Musgrave's chief of staff said.

Buck said that would make Musgrave and her staff more sensitive to any type of threat -- even scatological.

"I think most people would find this threatening," he said.

Ensz said afterward her intent was purely political.

...She said she just wanted to make a point, and she was sorry. She would not do it again. "It was only a political message," she said.

Purely political? Threatening? Terrorist!

By the looks of things, the image is displayed via some post-loading Javascript (if you just try to Copy Image Location you get a 1pixel x 1pixel image)

I looked thru the HTML source and found multiple references to this:

PS: ^ Based on the URL, future image-locating can be found by searching for "farm#.static.flickr.com" I am guessing.

So here's to the red white and blew!



P.S. Blew is the same as SUCK, but from a different perspective.

V-e-r-y clever! (and kewel!)

Reminds me of the guy that took his junk mail, each which generally comes with a "postage free" return envelope, in which he simply stuffed the junk mail they sent him and mailed it back to them... (figure what it costs in time for it to be opened and trashed, with then the potential for the company "suggestion box" to then get stuffed as well, etc)

Something about "recycling"...

Something about "doing unto others as they do unto you..." looped?

* and the flag image just about says it (sadly)
