Help keep America beautiful...deface a liberal.

The Democrat and Republican parties are simply the left and right wings of the same bird of prey.

The road to freedom is paved with dead liberals.

Stop fretting about what is likely a harmless sale. But it's pretty clear that any buyer of this guitar will stick his neck out.

It's easy when you are in tune with the subject.

Sooner or later, though, someone here will go a bridge too far.

Obviously, this deal is striking the right chord with several bidders.

It does have free shipping!  :evillaugh:

Are the parts worth anything?

I wonder if the guy included the guitar in his insurance claim with the damage to his house? (see ebay listing, for pics of house)

I wonder what his insurance adjuster would say if he seen this listing?
