Every time I've been in the US, like just last week, I think if only they had a decent fucking health plan, relocation wouldn't bother me a bit, especially after passing through the anal assholes (is that redundant?)on the Canuck side of border crossings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18287683.post-49161689620473549012010-05-12T01:02:43.452-04:002010-05-12T01:02:43.452-04:00You used "scofflaw"!
