Excellent idea. You know what, I think I really want a socialist parlor. In fact, I think we should all have one, especially in the US where all those huddled masses yearning to breathe free need somewhere to sit down for a chat among themselves.

That will definitely help you to look superior, pompous, supercilious, and socialist all at the same time?

Time for the Weiner jokes?

"Weiner said about New York, 'Nobody will work harder to make it better.' As opposed to his first campaign promise, which was 'Nobody will work better to make it harder.'" –Jay Leno

Anthony Weiner has officially launched his campaign to be the next mayor of New York. 'It's getting harder and harder every day,' he says in his launch video...to make it in the Big Apple.

His campaign video is a joke...a devoted family man with his wife and baby.

You'd be better off with an ice cream parlor. That way, you can quickly and easily gain the requisite additional 75 pounds needed to understand America.
