@geekymitch: Vomit?! Gimme some cocktail sauce and nice heaping glass of NY water and I will be as happy as a clam.

@comrade_leviathan: Or buttaface...

@Acemonster: I do understand that sarcasm doesn't come through the internet too well....but damn. Anyways, more on topic is the fact that a lot of gov't vehicles are being used for things other than what you state "to support, protect, and serve the country".

Maybe brown people (yes that does reflect more accurately, since I am more of a beige/sandstone color myself) have a different view of the value of a dollar and would…

@BlunderBus: We do, its called everyone else in the frigin world. We are as organized as all hell on this thing we call the interwebs.
