Which do you think has the stronger lobby? Public schools or private prisons? Go, go. Go Arpaio!

I was at the Red Cup the last time Classen was used for pedestrians. The OCD people were running down the street and all the neurotic depressives, bipolars, schizophrenics and the seriously hung over were watching from the parking lot. Fellini’s got nothin’ on us. The last time I went to the Red Bud Classic some 25 years ago a running man threw up in my shoes at the finish line, and I had them on.
