That susurrus echoing Clinton's campaign slogan comes from the Romney campaign. It will move through the nation like lightening before fall. It's the economy, and we are not stupid!

[dangus]

Shirley, you can’t be susurrus!

[dangus]

Beat me by five seconds.

much susurration about this SU basketball retrospective on the SU fan board. We watched it a few times last night, it's very good. and that first song is "More" by Usher. I had xsgirls put it on my Ipod. they were horrified when i referred to it as MY NEW JAM! LOL! i love appalling them! so yeah, i had it on repeat, and blared it my whole way in this AM : )

The susurrus of the Slow Jam News was a morning emetic (thx, xs) for me. Can’t believe I haven’t seen a thread on it yet.

i simply cannot watch the vid. i know my head would explode and i would likely trash my ofc in a rage were i to view it. it takes sterner stuff than i am made of, to subject oneself to that.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Brains and style of a dull brontosaurus
Wines and dines like the Greek, Epicurus
A cacophony of sound
Says, “You won’t be around”
“Bye, Barack” is a roar, no susurrus

[tioga]
