Biden to shop owner asking for lower taxes: "Don't be a smart ass."
« on: June 26, 2010, 11:09:37 PM »
VP Joe Biden visits a frozen custard shop in Milwaukee, WI.  After mistakenly calling it an ice cream shop, schmoozing with and scooping frozen treats for the clientele, Biden serves himself a frozen cone of yogurt.  Taking a lick, he asks the manager what he owes him.  The manager says lower our taxes and we'll call it even.  The subject line tells you what Biden said next.
I ask you, who's the smart ass?  ;/

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

I was sure Barry would lose the election picking such a jerk as his running mate, the only thing I can think of it must be insurance- I actually want Barry healthy-just to keep Biden out of the WH

Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

What's with presidents or vice-presidents going to custard stands in Milwaukee? Back in the 90's Clinton went to Leon's Custard stand. The owner of the place is ultra-right-wing, and let Clinton know how he felt.

Clinton called it "ice cream," too.

I really wish the vile, arrogant, and ignorant remarks of Joe Biden got 1/10 the press Dan Q's and Dubya's mistakes did.

In all honesty, if Kopps wanted bigger and more press, and a massiv eincrease in business (at least from me) They'd have tossed the veep out the door for that garbage.

"Sir I realise you're the vice-president, but get out of my establishment now. If you cannot behave civilized and take a little bit of humor, then get out right now."

You know even in liberal Milwaukee, they'd get a lot of media coverage, and I'm sure there'd be pilgrimages of conservatives to find the shop from far across the country if they'd had the guts to do what was right.

That's why the present government is known as a burrocracy.
