It looks as if most republican legislators will die intestate, because they don’t seem to have any will.

Intestate

This is an official made up word for explaining why your homework isn’t done: The dog ate my homework so it’s in test ate. My dog has eaten so much homework we call him Test Ate so my homework is intestate.

It’s early...what can I say?

Since I have no assets, (and no testes either), I guess that’s how I will die.

The government isn’t going to wait for us to die intestate to take all of our belongings — they are just going to take them while we’re still alive.

Good morning. Will it even matter if we die intestate after this regime is done with us? There won’t be anything left to pass along

Four more years of Obama and wills will become superfluous.
