Zeets phoned in from the bowels of DC.<\/p>\n

“They passed this law that puts a five cent fee on each bag you use at a store. The city’s already made something like $150K off it.”<\/p>\n

“Leftie fascists.”<\/p>\n

“So I’m standing in line at Giant and don’t have a reusable bag with pictures of basil on it because I’m not a fag. The herb in front of me doesn’t have a reusable bag either. When the cashier asks if he needs a bag he hangs his head down in shame and sheepishly says yes. He couldn’t make eye contact with anyone.”<\/p>\n

“So this is the new SWPL status signal, the reusable bag?”<\/p>\n

“I hate them all. Anyhow, there’s a line of fifteen yuppies behind me. The cashier asks if I need a bag. With my head held high I proudly say ‘Yes, I want a bag. And double bag the milk.’”<\/p>\n

“I like the use of the word ‘want’ instead of ‘need’. Very sly.”<\/p>\n

“Thank you. I made sure to scan the line when I said it. I wanted those herbs to cower in fear.”<\/p>\n

“Did you grunt a little for emphasis?”<\/p>\n

“There was a genital display as well. When you walk down the streets here all the shamed-faced hipsters with plastic bags try to hide them in their coats or behind their backs so people don’t notice. This country needs a good, cleansing total war.”<\/p>\n
