A police officer of all people should know that. What an idiot. Enjoy your Plan B career the rest of your life.

I had a friend who had to threaten to sue his homeowners association because they threatened to kick him out after he refused to take down an American flag on a 12 ft pole in his front yard. The real kicker, he was a 12 year Army vet. Talk about a slap to the face.

In fact, it was 88 yesterday, and that was a welcomed cool down. So if Seattle is done with 59 degree days, we'll gladly take them.

Wrong. Look at all the ATF and DEA raids on tribal lands for bootlegging, synthetic marijuana, and tax evasion if you want to see just how "sovereign" they are. Further, if you are pulled over by tribal police, you can insist on American law enforcements presence and they must call out the local Sheriff or state police. Now, in what sovereign country would something like that fly?

How about fat people who take up more room than the average person? Or, we could just overtax everyone with an inflated ego who believes other people should be overtaxed for the way they live.....but then you'd have no money left for your bills.

Therefore, it is NOT a finished product. Where they roll the cigarettes is irrelevant because they will get rolled regardless.

Indians are NOT allowed to side step taxes to non-tribal members. If anything, the gov't is playing nice not shutting them down for failure to collect taxes from non-tribal members.

If the state was taxing the "INIDAINS" on Casino and Tobacco sales sold to non-tribal persons, it would bring in more money and close that loophole. But no politician wants to close that loophole as long as the "INIDAINS" are providing large campaign contributions. *cough, GREGOIRE, cough* Tue, 26 Jun 2012 02:33:08 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Washington-judge-blocks-roll-your-own-cigarette-taxes-160318915.html#IDComment389521704 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Washington-judge-blocks-roll-your-own-cigarette-taxes-160318915.html#IDComment389518620 The state ignoring an initiative passed by the people? Sounds like par for the course. The legislature has never cared about anyone other than their voting block. They certainly don't care about the common taxpayer.

If you go to a dealership and assemble a car yourself, did the dealer sell you a finished product?

Basically stupidity at large.

The forecast high in Dallas is 102 tomorrow. 103 for Wichita, and 102 for Oklahoma City. Factor in the humidity, and you have one justified complaint on your hands.

What would they call a real squall line with 60-70mph straight line winds, quarter sized hail, and continuous cloud to ground lightning? Armageddon?

You can only get fed crap so many times before the lies become ridiculously hard to defend. In fact, the only thing I believe now, is the word "expert" is used very loosely.
