Seems the silly bureau-critters infesting Ottawa's National Capitol Commission don't like being called out for blind enforcement of stupid rules. They've publicly and officially apologized to Adela and Eliza Andrews for the absurd shutdown of their lemonade stand this past weekend. And apologize they should. Two girls, 5 and 7, selling lemonade? This is the heinous … [Read more...]
Official State Re-Education by Lemonade Stand Police “corrects” 5 and 7-year-old Ottawa girls
I thought the "Lemonade Stand Police" was an American phenomenon but this Canada Day I was proven quite wrong. If it's good enough for America it's good enough for Canada, it seems, at least when it comes to attacking children for daring to be productive and self-sufficient members of society. The two girls, Adela and Eliza Andrews, thought they were doing a good thing by … [Read more...]
John Stossel on how everything, including common sense, has become illegal in America
Every day there is another asinine law passed, and every day there is another story of how some bureaucrat has abused a citizen because some rule buried in a regulation handbook says he can. John Stossel has made a career out of exploring all of this stupidity, and his latest entry into the absurd is called "Illegal Everything." If you think you've seen every bureaucratic … [Read more...]
America! Take a lesson from Canada on how to treat girls selling lemonade!
Jane Gaffin just sent me a link to an article that highlights one of the differences between Canada and the United States that America really needs to embrace: Lemonade Liberation! Over the past few months I've written about the Lemonade Freedom Martyrs and their horrific treatment at the hands of extremely thuggish US Law Enforcement personnel. As I wrote about in my … [Read more...]
“Lemonade Liberation” and Lemonade Freedom Martyrs are Top of the Terrorist Threat List!
Have the morons running Washington, DC (and the rest of the country) completely LOST THEIR MINDS? The answer, sadly, is yes. I wrote about the ridiculous acts of the Capitol Police and their need to arrest, handcuff and forcibly drag away three Lemonade Freedom Martyrs for their dastardly crime of selling lemonade for 10 cents a cup. Lemonade Freedom Day was supposed to … [Read more...]
All Hail the Lemonade Freedom Martyrs! Once again, lemonade vendors are arrested and charged, this time in Washington, DC
In a show of government thuggery at its best, Capitol Hill Police arrested people for the dastardly crime of "selling illegal lemonade" on Capitol Hill. I was particularly impressed with the one female cop who repeatedly abused anyone having the audacity to film her stupidity in live, living color. This badge-packing bitch ought to be ashamed of herself, as should every … [Read more...]
The War On Lemonade and the Girls Who Make it…
The war on lemonade stands is in full gear across America. The summer tradition that has gone on freely for generations is now under fire from greedy bureaucrats intent on lining their pockets... okay, not their own pockets... just that of their bureaucracies. God forbid some kids should sell lemonade without spending a few hundred dollars on permission slips, or as they … [Read more...]
Florida Police arrest a 12-year-old for farting. Have they lost their minds?
Schools have always had their fair share of "problem children", but we used to actually be able to cope with them in a reasonable and sensible manner. Not so any more. A scan of headlines across America for just this past week showed me some bizarre and horrifying examples of how we in North America are doing our best to instill an abiding sense of fear and terror of police … [Read more...]
