27. In a small town in Oregon, a very wealthy landowner erected a sign
on his property, which he wants to develop, and which the town does not because it is considered sacred land. The sign reads: Private property is the foundation for freedom.

I snorted when I saw it because, number 1, it sounds just like a Rove talking point; and, number 2, hasn't the doofus ever heard of eminent domain?

When the government wants what you got, they'll tell you to take your so-called freedom and shove it where the sun don't shine.
