Wanted to pass this along to parents like myself who are in the midst of back-to-school shopping for their children. Our sons are 12 and 15 yrs old and being growing boys, we need all the help we can get! :twitch:

Well, gee, that pretty much lets out any parents who happen to be employed as teachers in PG county as they go back August 13th. I think I'll just go to Delaware... :biggrin:

Lowering taxes is bad. Didn't O'Malley and the Democrats in the legislature get the memo?

Look Sire, the crowds, they grow weary of your tariffs, they are growing restless and our guards fear a revolt.

throw them some crumbs, it will make them happy and they will soon forget their sorrow.

But Sire, could they not just cross over to the Kingdom Delaware and buy their wares?

We shall place guards upon the paths between us and take from them what they have.
