    Warrant

    I have bottles, jars, cloth, paper, twine, styrofoam, gasoline, kerosine, lamp oil, brake fluid, metal, glass, plastic and cardboard containers. I have match heads (attached to matches, don't know if that makes a difference), paint of all sorts, sticks, poles, nails, screws, bricks, chicken wire, roofing tar, PVC, metal piping and, of course, duct tape (Homeland Security told me to buy that).

    Thank God I have never been to St. Paul, or I'd have the maps and they'd have to come arrest me too, because Lord knows, though I rant about it on a daily basis, someone always forgets to flush the toilet in my house!

    Seriously, this warrant is a joke. Every house on my block has nine-tenths of what was listed there. So what percentage is needed to put everyone in the house in jail?

    I know, from personal experience, that all that is needed these days for police to burst into your home, destroy it in a hail of bullets and shoot and kill someone is possession of stolen baby clothes, that were brought to the house by Children's Services.

    That's the truth folks. It really doesn't take anything at all for them to justify pulling a trigger.
