JEEZ! even politicians in Chicago don't stoop that low.

however, the "bones strewn around the cemetary" part
does have a vaugely Chi-town hint to it.

[(The late) Generalissimo Francisco Franco]

Castro said Thursday that the theft violates a law against "offending the memory of the dead," punishable by two years in prison.

That is a great law!

Somebody should knock the thieves skulls together for doing this. On the other hand his dad really won't be using it anymore.

Alas, poor Juan....

Nope; doesn't scan.

Aw, why can't they just Lima-lone?

[Horace LaBadie]

When digging up dirt doesn't work.

A new song...

HEY MUCHACHO
GET THE MESSAGE YO

YOU DROP OR NO POP

CAUSE DIS ELECTION WE PRIVATIZE

HEY MUCHACHO
WHICH WAY YA GONNA GO

In Chicago, the concern would be that this might prevent his dad from voting.

[Marc]

The skull thieves wanted to make certain that the opposition candidate, the incumbent mayor, does not "pull a head" in the upcoming election.

[Annie Where-but-here]

*snork* @ Meanie.

In the meantime, the thieves are taking his dad bowling.

Send these guys to Washington!
