Strike Against Sanity

A UAW local in Detroit which abuts a Marine Reserve armory, and which has allowed reservists to park on the union lot for years during off-hours, has barred non-UAW-built cars, and cars sporting Bush stickers, from the lot:

For a number of years now, dozens of Marine reservists have been thankful to park in the UAW's lot for weekend training with no problem at all - until now.

Marines at nearby Marine Corps Reserve Center say on Tuesday morning, the director of security at the UAW told them that while they support the troops, Marines driving foreign vehicles or sporting a President George Bush bumper sticker were no longer welcome to park there.

Miss O'Hara, from Detroit, responds:

I'll tell you what - this is enough to make me swear off UAW-built cars and buy a Mazda or Nissan just to spit in your pathetic, dastardly faces. And I will fill it with Dubya and Reagan goodies and park it in front of your door while blasting Rush Limbaugh and passing out homemade cookies to those Marines.

And you don't mess with O'Hara.

Mmmm. Cookies.
