I swear my head is gonna explode...

What’s next? A Parade to welcome them home? Ice cream cake, and the choice of which Bank they may rob in the future should the “need” arise?

Sweet Jesus, what is WRONG with people?

While the ordinance, to be introduced by Councilman W. Wilson Goode Jr., awaits approval...

The same idiot who ordered the firebombing of a whole city block in the '80s?

“Returning citizens”. ROTFLMAO! That’s funny! I don’t care who you are, that’s funny right there. I wish we could call raisins Geezer Grapes but I guess we’d need an ordinance passed by the flatulence crowd.

I’ve got an idea.

If you don’t want to be called an ex-offender just don’t offend.

Works for me.

Parole Board chairman: They've got a name for people like you H.I. That name is called "recidivism."
Parole Board member: REPEAT OFFENDER!
Parole Board chairman: Not a pretty name, is it H.I.?
H.I.: No, sir. That's one bonehead name, but that ain't me any more.

Parole Board chairman: You're not just telling us what we want to hear?
H.I.: No, sir, no way.

Parole Board member: 'Cause we just want to hear the truth.
H.I.: Well, then I guess I am telling you what you want to hear.

Parole Board chairman: Boy, didn't we just tell you not to do that?
H.I.: Yes, sir.

Parole Board chairman: Okay, then.

Why don’t they just trade names with the Washington Redskins?
It even sounds right: the Washington Ex-offenders.
The goo-goos are happy and the ex-cons get cool names.

"RISE executive director Bill Hart said he estimates the city is home to more than 200,000 "returning citizens," but that an exact number is difficult to pinpoint due to a high recidivism rate."

Guess they don't wanna return.

Mayor Nutcase,

Please keep your ex-cons safely ensconced in your city. It they venture to my environs to restart their lives of crime, they’ll most certainly become ‘returning citizens’, as I’ll send them back COD and nicely packaged for burial.

I would never dream of offending anyone with the term “ex-offender”. “Jailbird” has such a nice, retro ring to it.

He hopes the new term will have a "cognitive effect" on those returning from prison.

Well, why didn't they say so sooner? If cognitive dissonance is what they're going for, then we need an even more heroic-sounding name.

How about "Surviving Champions?
