• That looks like the perfect size Ron Paul bathtub.

• Sadly this is just more proof their should be an intelligence test in order to hold public office.

  • Ron Paul would run uncontested then.

    • Ron Paul wouldn't be allowed to even APPLY to run. He would likely end up in an asylum with all his retarded fans. Like you.

    • Creepy Crowley, the sorry little peckerhead who will never get his way...

    • And still lose

• Democrat lawmakers - totally understandable. It shows how sensitive they are to other cultures.

  Republican lawmakers - it shows just how out of touch they are with working people. Obviously, they have never seen a mop sink - their maids do all the cleaning. And they're probably illegals, too.

  • Democrats have been repeatedly busted for using illegal help as maids, nannys. gardeners. etc. A perfect example of their hypocrisy. While I am sure many wealthy Republicans do the same, a great many of them are working class people who do their OWN cleaning. And couldn't afford a maid if their lives depended on it.

  • I hope this is a joke on your part .

    This concept of Democratic understanding of other cultures , is only as current as their need for new votes . Their history of , and support of Black culture doesn't extend very far in the past .

    If is immoral , if its supports rewarding sociopathic behavior on the backs of non-sociopaths , THAT"S the Democratic way . Evil is Good and Good is Evil . Nothing sums up their mind set better .

    Totally understandable now , isn't it ?

    • Of course it's a joke. That would be pretty much the media read on that story, right? They would never give us that analysis side by side, or at least I would think that they wouldn't have the balls to do that. At least not just yet.

      You are correct about the understanding (so-called) of other cultures. What they understand is that they, the higher-evolved, intelligent elites are better than all the other cultures, who should continue, or cease to exist at their whim.

      Yes, I do understand them. As a reformed leftist, I understand them better than they understand themselves.

      • Thank you for the clarification . I sorta thought it was so , but lacked the vision to see it as it was .

        I remember a year or two ago , I posted a snarky , in your face , parody that only a few got . I seem to remember getting over 50 thumbs down . I was actually impressed by the response , as I realized it TOUCHED a nerve . Anyway it was all good , as it seriously opened up a good discussion on whatever it was about .

        Thank you for your post.

        • Sarcasm needs a lot of facial expressions, tone of voice, timing, etc.

          None come across very well on a message board or emails.

        • What!?! Sarcasm? Here? On IHTM? No way! :shock:

        • Sarcasm? Me?

          I don't know the meaning of the word!!!

        • Speaking of snark, this is really short and funny on it's own. Hunting @ Walmart.

          "The paper reports that on Nov. 26, at about 2 p.m., Bianco noticed the deer and jumped out of his truck and "began firing multiple rounds at the deer," citing court documents."

          But check out the last sentence.

        • Hey Doc, I guess now we know what all that sucking up Duke was doing to the DemoRat National Committee was all about, huh?

        • under O's plan the cost of energy will necessarily skyrocket....

        • Good thing he couldn't foresee the oil sands and fracking booms.

        • No, he's got a lot more damage planned for us. He's not done.

        • I don't think he's done trying to stop that.

        • You? Snarky? Get out, I don't believe it. ;)

• I use muslim foot washing stations as a urinal. and the koran now comes in 2 ply.

  • Years and years ago I worked as a janitor, saw these kids of sinks/basins in all the buildings I worked in that had a "janitor's closet....I would not have made that mistake, but I do love you comment....

    • We have several of these in a couple Juvy Detention facilities I/we maintain. An educated guess: they started using these to relieve back strains from lifting a 5 gal mop bucket off the ground to drain it. In the bldg. I maintain the fire alarm contractor installed a smoke detector in the room and should have put in a heat detector. First few times the custodian filled his/her mop bucket, steam from the hot water would fill the room and break the beam sensor in the detector, clearing out the bldg. for a false alarm. The contractor took care of that problem quickly!
      Probation Dept. doesn't always have a sense of humor.
