Bachmann piling on with the Ponzi scheme criticism is a low for her. So sad.

One can recognize SS as the fraud that it is without necessarily being hostile to the elderly. She sees her campaign falling apart and decides to play the “they want to throw granny in the street” card.

And T-paw endorses Romney? What up with that?

Prez Puppet,who so charmingly beguiled his way into the top spot in politics, is beguiling his way out. Even his staunches supporters seem to realize that the “rock star” (his words, not mine)pup, errr, Prez has taken them for a ride. Beguiling, snobbish ways aside, he has not done what he said he would and then there is the double negative vice at his side...

isn’t the VP supposed to be the attack dog? T-Paw is not even capable of a growl, let alone attacking. Marco Rubio is more the candidate for VP that I would want.

don't these cupcakes sound GOOD???

The two cupcakes created by executive pastry chef Tiffany MacIsaac are the “Dorris Dayngerous,” a pink chiffon cake with raspberry jam and lemon buttercream, and the “Whiskey Houston,” a Johnny Walker-brown sugar cake with an Buffalo Trace-apple butter and a Jameson-vanilla buttercream. The two tough cupcakes are $4 each. Get ‘em while their hot and support your gals on roller skates

The stock market plunging faster than David Caruso’s acting career will do that to me.

The difference is that the stock market has actually gone somewhere to begin with. Caruso had nowhere from which to plunge.
