Fifty year old manure spreader FOR FREE - ( Washington , D.C. )

Fifty-year old manure spreader. Not sure of brand. Said to have been produced in Hawaii but documents look forged but may be made in Kenya . Used for a few years in Indonesia before being smuggled into the US via Hawaii . Of questionable pedigree. Does not appear to have ever been worked very hard. Apparently it was pampered by various owners over the years. It doesn't work very often, but when it does it can really spread the manure and sling it for amazing distances. Unfortunately it is extremely costly to operate. It also comes with a very loud motor which gulps down the oil and grease and is even more expensive to operate. Backfires and whines a lot and always seems to be in vacation mode. Sign on motor looks to be Moochie Brand, I am hoping to retire this manure spreader and motor next November and don't really don't want it hanging around getting in the way. I would prefer a foreign buyer that is willing to relocate this manure spreader out of the country. I would be willing to trade this manure spreader for a nicely framed copy of the United States Constitution.

Are there any genuinely funny and/or inventive comedians situated on the right?  It might sound like I'm taking a poke at them/you but I am so immersed in Liberalism up here in Canada that I can't say I've actually heard any that weren't just funny for being, you know, conservative and right-leaning.  Is Dennis Miller your top cat?

Miller is pretty good but more of a commentator now.

This applies to so many jackasses on both sides really. I was listening to the governor of Virginia introduce Romney and he was a dope. Like a cartoon character.

It's true to a degree (our SCTV and Kids in The Hall are forever peaks and pretty lefty) but there's also some truth to the fact that so many 'entertainers' or producers of popular culture (musicians, writers, filmmakers) and so on are generally left or, at the very least, free thinking rightists with a sense of humour/the absurd.  I'm reminded of working in the home of a wealthy, religious and conservative family who I very much liked and respected and looking at the bookshelf and recognizing absolutely nothing and coming to the conclusion that to keep their lifestyle and beliefs in check and at the forefront, they must ignore the majority of the happy-go-lucky world and it's secular, free-willed silliness.  It just struck me as odd but, I suppose, understandable...especially if you have a sense of humour/the absurd.  Who wants to bathe in so much nonsense?

A good satirist like Will Rodgers is a rarity but a politician on either side is a good target of ridicule without hitting the political beliefs. Fine art really. I too look at bookshelves. There was a bloke being interviewed on TV in his office and he had a good bit of sex books in the background and he was discussing some serious topics of politics. Made me smile.

p.s.  the manure spreader joke is awful and, pun intended, scraping the bottom of the funny barrel for scraps of loose shit.

A crass but simple retort to a double dildo picture earlier. But yeah, a reach at best
