looking for someone to shit on.

But that was not the point of my tirade towards twoller. I've told him more than once if he and his buddies ever showed up on my porch with the blanket "hunt them down and throw them out" Spanish Inquisition approach to to the problem of illegal immigration, they would receive a certain lesson as to why they should be a little more circumspect.
