Someone should start selling vacation packages for the rioter set-

-Round trip tickets to STL
-One box of throwing sized rocks
-Molotov cocktail starter kit
-gas mask
-plastic dumpster lid to hide behind

All for one low price![/QUOTE

You forgot the T-shirt.
You're right! Gotta have the t-shirt, and your choice of a bandana or an "Anonymous" mask to cover your face.
No hotel accomodations included though- you'll be spending the night in the pokie!

You know you're a badass when your beer is named after a gun.
I'd go the other way. Wonder if I could get a limited edition Jose Cuervo AK-47...

No, this visit to India was purchased from a not-for-profit organization. I was at her first work lunch back. We got the impression it was her best vacation ever.

On the other hand, a friend/colleague who came onboard a year or so after me was raised in Africa (missionary parents) and was in the Peace Corps (Africa) prior to her GAO career.

Got to be Al Sharpton T-shirts. He needs to make a buck from this like the Palin act.

Palin? Did someone say Palin? Sarah Palin?

I loves me a Sarah Palin. Is she in the news again?

I just can't get enough of her funky stuff.
