Our average price is $3.69 per gallon. … But your wallet is not the only thing being hurt by the higher prices — at least one Minnesota county is cutting back on road repairs.

Planned Parenthood Opens $8 Billion Abortionplex

TOPEKA, KS—Planned Parenthood announced Tuesday the grand opening of its long-planned $8 billion Abortionplex, a sprawling abortion facility that will allow the organization to terminate unborn lives with an efficiency never before thought possible.

During a press conference, Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards told reporters that the new state-of-the-art fetus-killing facility located in the nation’s heartland offers quick, easy, in-and-out abortions to all women, and represents a bold reinvention of the group’s long-standing mission and values.

Then, John Fleming, Jr. a Louisiana physician and Republican U.S. Congresspreson from Louisiana’s 4th district, posted it on Facebook with this note:

The post has since been taken down.

Now, anybody can make a mistake. I suppose. But this kind of mistake is funny enough to tell you about.

Flemming is actually somewhat famous as that guy who said that millionaires should not be taxed because they have less money than people think they have. From Wikipedia:

“In a September 19, 2011 interview on MSNBC, in which Fleming criticized President Obama’s proposed plan to increase taxes on the wealthy, Fleming told host Chris Jansing, “The amount that I have to invest in my business and feed my family is more like $600,000 of that $6.3 million…. So by the time I feed my family I have, maybe, $400,000 left over to invest in new locations, upgrade my locations, buy more equipment.” When Jansing asked Fleming if he thought the “average person” might be unsympathetic to Fleming’s position, Fleming responded, “Class warfare never created a job…This is not about attacking people who make certain incomes. You know in this country, most people feel that being successful in their business is a virtue, not a vice, and once we begin to identify it as a vice, this country is going down.””

Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “Number Two.”

Focus on women who are dropping off their kids. Watch for purses (known in some subcultures as “pocketbooks” or “bags” … it’s like a “manbag” only for girls). Most women carry one. If you see a woman bringing the kid(s) to the daycare without the purse, that means there is a purse in her car. Also, if you’ve watched the daycare for a few days you’ll know the minimum amount of time you’ll have to extract the purse from the car.

There will be certain times of day when lots of people are dropping their kids off, or picking them up. This means that there may be moments when there are several targets — cars left by purseless women — available at once, and it also means that there will be people walking back and forth in the parking lot so you can blend in as you move in for your quarry.

Be patient. Walk through the lot, as though you are going somewhere, in such a way that passes by two or three different potential targets. Check the car door of each target to see if it is unlocked. The car doors will be unlocked far more often than usual. This is especailly true of older cars in certain parts of the country where there are still a lot of manual locks. People who are picking up their kids don’t want to mess with the key and the lock when they return to the car, squirming toddler or sleeping baby in their arms. Even people dropping their kids off will often not lock their car. A daycare center is a place where trust has developed in people’s minds (or they would not be there) and this tends to extend outward beyond the confines of the daycare center itself.

So, as you check each car to see if it is unlocked, most won’t be unlocked but there will be more than you might expect. Don’t worry if you don’t get an unlocked car you first few passes through the lot. If you check cars two or three times every morning and two or three times every afternoon, you’ll probably get in a car a half dozen times in a week. Then, you must take the checkbook and/or wallet out of the purse and leave the rest of the purse in place. This way, your success won’t be reported until later.

At some point, you will notice people in the parking lot looking around suspiciously when they leave their cars, and diligently locking them. This means that the word has gone out that you are in business at that particular location, so move to the next nearest daycare and continue hunting.

Do read the morning local paper (on line is the best way) regularly. At some point there will be an article explaining how this all works, as though the police just discovered this tactic, and the article will inform more people about how to not get their checkbooks stolen. Don’t let any such article deter you, though, people are basically stupid and manage to stay uninformed. The article is just there for your amusement.

Happy hunting!

An explanation … to the extent that this can be explained … is HERE.
