"Happy Co-dependance Day," says the fed.gov, with a warm and smarmy reminder that they're there for us -- and, especially, there for the contents of our wallets. C'mon, you, hand it over! Don't you care about poor people? An' struggling Congressthings?
I'd send 'em a rocket* but the city's fretful I'll catch the place on fire -- also, Officer Friendly will come 'round an' offer me a ticket and a hickory shampoo if I try. It's for my own good, innit? (Yes, it turns out they can ban fireworks, just as long as they declare a disaster first. Drought: disaster. Hurrah! Our Leaders have now arranged matters such that only the least-responsible and most furtive of persons will ignite pyrotechnic amusements. What could possibly go wrong?)

So when does the Drunken IMPD person who set himself on Fire lighting Illegal Bottle rockets get printed: Today's Edition or Tomorrow's?
ReplyDeleteLocal commentary in Mordor-on-the-Platte area revolves around inability to resolve the conundrum of being allowed to buy ground-bound, non-bursting fireworks, but not being allowed to spark them up. I suppose they're still technically fireworks.
