And by the way, the grill brush that sold for $5 last year is now $19.95.\u00a0 Several stores will have stopped selling them because of the risk.\u00a0 I can even imagine a government funded grill brush replacement program that pays people for bringing in worn out grill brushes, to be destroyed with no questions asked.\u00a0 Word has already reached California where Governor Brown is already considering a special tax on grill brushes to help fund further research.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, this is typical reasoning for a lot of liberal Democrats.\u00a0 There is no potential for reasoning with these people.\u00a0 It is impossible to do mental combat with unarmed opponents.\u00a0 Our only hope is to see more and more of them voted out of office.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This explains why Democrats are so desperate to stop voter ID laws.\u00a0 If we restrict voting to people who are actually capable of coherent thought, how on earth would Democrats ever get elected?\u00a0 Happy Grilling!\u00a0 And don\u2019t forget to clean your grill while you can still afford a grill brush.<\/p>\n<p>TDM<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have had the misfortune to associate with a fair number of people who are not happy unless they are unhappy.\u00a0 These people are full time subscribers to \u201cthe more you bitch the longer God lets you live\u201d world view.\u00a0 &hellip;
