Note Well

If you occupy a public water fountain for several minutes to refill your water bottle use the lower placed fountain and let us drinkers exercise our priority.  I think it is fucking rude to stand there filling your righteous water bottle while us folk thirsty for an immediate quench must bend over awkwardly.

What a Bummer:

Tancredo won’t seek re-election

We are sure to be overrun with the ensuing flood of immigrants moments after he leaves office. Why must this savior leave us when we need him most? Will he run for Senate? Oh, I forgot he is going to be president.

Someone please explain this one to me.

5 years jail for breaking and entering to steal chickens!

This gem comes from Rhode Island, of all places, last amended in 1956. Perhaps the fine should be increased to accord with inflation and the seriousness of the crime. I wonder how often this statute has been invoked in the last 50 years?

§ 11-8-6 – Breaking and Entering to steal poultry
Every person who breaks and enters, or enters in the nighttime without breaking, any building or enclosure in which are kept or confined any kind of poultry, with intent to steal any of the poultry, shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than five (5) years, or by a fine of not more than five hundred dollars ($ 500), or both.

Every person who is discovered in the act of willfully entering any building or enclosure in which are kept or confined any kind of poultry, with intent to steal any of the poultry, may be arrested without a warrant and detained in jail or otherwise until a complaint can be made against him or her for the offense.

BTW, it should be noted that chicken-stealing was a problem in the first part of the last century.  Ole Jack Skinner nearly got castrated for his chicken theft, his third strike…which made for the famous constitutional law case of Skinner v. Oklahoma.
