I'm gonna take a wild guess that the two thieves are black and the man is a brother on the down low. I could be wrong.
Bacon on a veggie burger ... odd? How come? Why isn't it odd to put lettuce & tomato on a hamburger? Hmm??? Hmm???
In other news, what is this guy's problem????

c00n,
You're a one trick pony. Get over yourself.
"Bacon on a veggie burger ... odd? How come? Why isn't it odd to put lettuce & tomato on a hamburger? Hmm??? Hmm???"
Because vegetarians refuse to eat meat. Meat-eaters don't refuse to eat vegetables.
I actually had a veggie burger with bacon on it for lunch at work today. No joke.
Coon, you sound like a kid who got robbed and/or roughed up by some black kids...
It'd be nice if more politicians were willing to take unpopular actions like it seems Corzine will do.
