I'm going to terrorize the dog pound until they stop the practice of the seven day euthanasia policy. I'm going to the county jail and bug them for the public records they are hiding. I'm going to get a big, dirty sock to gag our city council with. They are crooks and liars. I will write our Commie police chief a letter explaining how public record is not dictated by his boner for power. I will go ahead and tell the conservative media to piss off; you are all slanted at an obtuse angle that borders on chroni...
