One of their promises should they get elected was to repeal the law of gravity. They ceased to exist after an election where they almost got one of their candidates elected :-) Funny how the US government claims to be shutdown, but NSA and CIA are still at it 100%. I feel that DC area restaunrants should stop serving any congressman/senator until this is resolved.

They may look better when they're trying to get votes, but as soon as they are actually voted into office they turn out to be Crawling Spaghetti Mess and the Highly Visible Prison-striped Zebra. Just like all the other lying, cheating, greedy, selfish, morons before them. :-(

To really bring it back on topic ("Woman Shot in Driveway") ... I guess
that's what happens when silly American laws allow parking wardens to
carry guns ... "Oi! You parked in a No Parking Zone, and didn't wait
for me to write up the ticket ... *bang!*" ;-)

I've never seen a meter maid with a gun.

Perhaps you are able to recognise the characteristics that allow you to
distinguish between members of the myriad of different police forces in
the US, and the various official and semi-official look-alikes. Even
though I lived there for 12 years, I was still unable to do so at the
time I made my escape to safety.

Well, around here, Meter maids 1) don't have badges 2) don't have guns
3) don't have police uniforms 3) don't drive police cars 4) don't get
out of their vehicles. So, it would be very hard to mistake them for
police.

The way I see it, the longer I put it off, the better it'll end up
being. Heck, school doesn't start for another 43 minutes.

What, none at all? So anyone dinging you for parking could just as well
be working for the Ministry of Silly Walks for all you know.

How do you book someone (that is, leave a ticket on their car) without
getting out? Or is long arms a prerequisite for the job? (Cue jokes
about simians).
> So, it would be very hard to mistake them for police.
Or anything at all, apparently.

They have a scanner that scans license plates and prints tickets, which
they then stick under the window.

I don't know if I would go *that* far.

They drive along next to the parked cars and stick the tickets under the wipers.

If you see someone driving along putting parking tickets on cars, it's
pretty sure it's a meter maid.
Probably not named Rita, either.

If the Blonde democrat is smart, she'll hire a lawyer and sue Pillbury because one of its packages attacked her and resulting in frequent nighmares of the Pillsbury doughboy violating her :-)

Maybe by "vehicles" he meant that they use Woz's favourite toy, the Segway. ;-) Here in New Zealand some city councils claim the Segway are "vehicles" and so cannot be used on footpaths. They must be used on the roads ... but they can't go on the roads because they don't fit the legal requirements for a vehicle (lights, etc.) and don't qualify as bicycles.

The morons in government (local and national) already have enough of their own idiotic ideas to waste tax-payer money on. :-(
