Bill Maher claims his use of the "c" word was a simple gambol across the stage, but Rush committed a HUGE sin.

Bill Maher: Me calling Sarah Palin a ‘c---’ is totally different than Limbaugh calling Sandra Fluke a ‘slut’

Yeah, it is different, for starters we can print the word slut, not "c---".

Rise and Shine.....tis a dreary rainy day here in the once frozen tundra (soggy mess instead, must be global warming). Cheer me up and get an extra +.

Good Morning!

I must now venture out into the world and gambol my health away.

If this were Star Trek, I'd be wearing a red shirt, but it's green today.

IN a mere 4 days, Spring officially arrives, and is celebrated in a gambol manner with the shedding of heavy jackets and sweaters to thinner clothes and refreshment for the old eyes.

Barack and wife take their vacations, love to gambol
Golf and shopping, shoot some hoops, perhaps just amble
Back home, four dollar gas
The unemployed are on their ass
And the deficit economy’s in a shamble

If you keep using rhyme, you’re gonna put about a million MFAers (Masters of Fine Arts, that’s who writes American poetry these days.....mostly for each other) out of work.

I got thoroughly soaked at the park this morning, with lightning and thunder all around but at least it didn’t hail. I gamboled back to the car, wrapped up in a big towel, and came home.
