    Hmmmm...

  2. Captain Obvious   15 years ago

    I like the suit... the colors work. Good look.

    1. GILMORE   15 years ago

      The peach shirt is an improvement on the dark red. This says 'journalist', rather than 'agent of lucifer'.

      I like a little splash of color in a suit sometimes, but theres a fine line between 'effervescent and hip' and 'Gay Mafioso'...

      1. Spiny Norman   15 years ago

        How is "journalist" an improvement over "agent of Lucifer?"

  3. Otto   15 years ago

    'CA prison guards make WI teachers look like Mother Teresa...'

    Um... is that a good thing?

  4. Derp   15 years ago

    So is it 8 weeks per year?
    Matt didn't seem to sure of himself there...

  5. Danny   15 years ago

    Amen! Say it, brother.

    First time on this site that I remember seeing an actual comparative statement between the teachers unions and the law enforcement unions.

  6. rather   15 years ago

    🙂 by the way, you never looked so confident

  7. Soviet Kanuckistan   15 years ago

    Free Marc Emery!

  8. Tanya   15 years ago

    Good stuff. Also, Welch looks downright handsome.

  9. Links of London   15 years ago

    necklace me, glass crashed, as if a window broke and shattered. That is actually sketched from the life. She is very
    promising
