Teabaggery at its finest! Cause who needs a license??
The elimination of funding for Missouris drivers license bureau was perhaps the most dramatic proposal in a Senate budget plan full of reductions intended to grab the attention of executive branch officials accused by some senators of being uncooperative or less than forthcoming when describing how they spend state money.

(10,857 posts)I considered writing the above comment using "Grandma Republican," but then I decided it would confuse the punchline since there shouldn't be any female Republicans in the first place. So I reverted to the stereotype but kept the Square Snuff.
I was also going to use Squirrel Nut Zippers instead of Zagnuts, but then I decided that would also confuse the punchline since nobody remembers that they were a candy before they became a snappy post-jazz band.
