The solpsist, Joe Biden, tells couples who paid $10,000 each for dinner at sKerry's home that the Republicans are out of touch with the middle class. Dining on grass fed NY strip steaks and truffle mashed potatoes, while the middle class cringes at the gas station.

Last night his boss, theO, flew off to a basketball game in Dayton, Ohio.

Just WHO is out of touch?

Stand up Chuck! errr....make that SIT DOWN JOE!

What do you get when you combine solipism, socialism, narcissism, and all the other bad "isms" in the dictionary?

Seeing that horses patoot with PM Cameron in Dayton yesterday, and the announcers on TruTV fawning over him, nearly put me over the edge last night. Gee, do you think that Ohio’s electoral votes had anything to do with that trip???? He’s not yet revealed his brackets, but he told the guy last night he has Ohio State [the announcer’s alma mater] going to the final four.

Solipsism -- I know about this stuff.

The World’s Going To End

The world’s going to end, some day, some day,
But I can tell you when.
When I stop cranking out for it,
The impetus to spin.

Oh, yes, it’s me who’s at the heart,
Of every thing’s conjunction,
I noticed this while still quite young,
Who else could make it function?

Nothing happens when I’m not there,
Though some pretend it does.
They cannot fool me for I see,
It’s just the way it was.

I feel perplexed and puzzled,
You all will go some day,
When my senescence brings a close,
To all you have to say.

Like silent ghosts you’ll drift away,
While I in sleep descend.
And on that sad and somber day,
The world will have its end.

Alas, I never saw that banana peel and found myself involved in a disastrous solipsism.

Solipsism

This solipsism sounds just like people who should keep their lips pressed tightly together for long periods of times. This is also well known for preventing Fatlipsism.

Whenever he speaks (a lip schism)
Barack reveals his solipsism
“I am Obama
And I killed Osama”
A textbook display of pure egotism
