Residents of the tiny Alabama town of Notasulga are rallying around a local fixture after his eviction from the post office. Judd Davis reports.

Hey the White House is a Federal Building, owned by the taxpayers. I wonder if the Most Merciful and Gracious Illegal Alien-elect is going to stand 50 feet from the White House when he smokes . . . he is a smoker, ya’ know. Or is he better than the rest of us? He shouldn’t be allowed to smoke anywhere near the White House.

“This is a federal building and he doesn’t pay federal taxes so he can’t come in’,” said postal worker Rochelle Langford.”

If THAT is the standard, than how will welfare recipients get P.O. boxes to collect their money and find out where to get their gov’ment cheese?

Hmmmm?

That “person” pays county taxes, so they should be put in the county jail just for being that stupid.

Notasulga needs to be famous for something. Might as well be for being stupid.

If paying federal taxes is the bar, then half of all American people should stay out of the post office as well.

BTW, I’m glad they found a way to let Sammy back in.

My representative actually wrote me back this afternoon.. he agrees.

"They said 'This is a federal building and he doesn't pay federal taxes so he can't come in',"

Then neither can about 40% of the US population.

Of course not, Silly. They can come and go as they please and suck as much money out of our pockets in the process as they want to.

Get with the times, Sonny. ;)

Yeah, and the illegal aliens who use the P.O. don’t pay taxes either.

Aw geez, you gotta be my age to get that Cinerama sized joke about beatniks calling themselves `hip cats’.

Berets, beards, bongos, turtlenecks, hornrims, sandals, how about a poetry reading contest with some espresso at your local Sugar Shack coffeehouse?

Don’t forget your copy of Sartre on existentialism to impress that longhaired girl in bangs and a leotard.

Like total Wierdsville, man.
