  1. There are Tea Party wackos everywhere. They think everyone who doesn’t give them money is a terrorist.

  2. You can’t do anything in this world without someone complaining.

    I want a Bicycle Extremist t-shirt!

  3. I’m a ‘virus’? I think a virus is a small, well-structured thing with a built-in plan to replicate itself. I, however, am a large, poorly organized lump of protoplasm that can’t plan anything before having a cup of coffee. Even then, the plan probably won’t last until lunchtime.

    But the people who put up these posters, well, perhaps we should recommend that they go….replicate….themselves.
