Bird'd! #3 - Republican Party

BONUS: One bus transfer, printed on official Paper Of Pain(TM) complete with razor sharp edges that can cut steel, good for a trip either to Happy Happy Farg Off And Die Land, or the ENTIRE length of MDTA route S on a Saturday night - on an old Ikarus 436 artic with defective air conditioning.

BONUS (contiinued): One overflowing urinal.
