A Semi-News/Semi-Satire from AzConservative ^ | 20 February 2010 | John Semmens

Vice-President Joe Biden credits increased government hand-outs for the decline in crime. “With trillions in stimulus money floating around, there’s less need for ordinary robberies,” Biden reasoned. “I mean, why take the risk of illegally trying to get into someone else’s pocket when there’s a legal way to get the same result?”

He was "quoting" Joe Biden, but since it's satire we'll give it a pass.

I was complimenting John Semmens on his ever so subtle satire.

Another great one John. Thanks for the ping.

I’ve been offline due weather related telephone system grief for the past ten days, therefore the late reply.

The rains took their toll on the old rural telephone system that services our area.
