Snow Job 0

In certain big northeastern cities, there’s an informal tradition that, if you clear your street parking place after a big snow, it’s yours. In the residential neighborhoods of Boston and Philadelphia, you will see trash cans, folding chairs, and other markers holding down the claim.

The tradition is illegal, as streets are public, but it’s strong.

Michael Smerconish takes a look at how various politicians might view this practice. This is my favorite; follow the link for the rest:

Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) emphasizes the individual’s God-given right to suffer an unnecessary heart attack while proudly doing a physically exhausting job: “Every American has the right to lead an unnecessarily difficult existence with as little governmental assistance as possible.”
