Now if we can only remember the “important” work that LSC funds next time that authorization comes up, and if we can attempt to get some funds lobbying on the other side, this might turn out to be a fair fight.

I venture that the direct number is closer to a million folks, adults, children, all hitting the streets at once.

Maybe they could all camp out in front of Russ’s house, eh?

Lawrence is a parasite who contributes absolutely nothing to society and his wife is a leech who panders to the impoverished in the Bay area who no longer can afford to live there?

Hmmm, sounds like Democrats to me…

I think you’ll be pleased to hear that, having spent the past two months working in Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s office, we have received countless calls regarding this matter. My only hope now is that those actually in charge of the funding process�specifically the Representatives from our districts�can save it. -d
