Can’t the .gov ever learn?

I can see the blackmarket in meat now. More cops arresting poor guys selling “slim-jims” on the street corner! More protests, marches, and deaths...

I am trying to be sarcastic, but I have the flu, and maybe it isn’t working.

What were the obamas served at the $500,000 membership fee restaurant the other day? Certainly not bologna sandwiches the rest of us are dining on.

We need to sunset every single government regulation; and start totally over. And move the nations capitol to northwestern North Dakota. And add strict term limits.
