Inauguration Day is here, keep the obloquies to a minimum, despite theWon. However, if you need to cut loose with an obloquy, just take a gander at this...obsenity.

[tioga]

Middle of the night insomnia ping. Keep the roar down till I get up, I may be asleep at my desk.

[tioga]

oops, double ping, didn’t mean to wake you all up so early.

[Silentgypsy]

You, too? Must be something in the water.

[Silentgypsy]

Anyone directing obloquy toward the *resident will receive no penalty from me.

tioga—Daffy can’t sleep, either.

[Daffynition]

Saving all my *Obloquy* for Inaugurgataion Day.

[Robert A. Cook, PE]

Yeah, yeah. Your alarm clock ring twice? 8<)

Leastwise, my 12 hour shift has only 1-1/2 hour left.

Each time he demands more taxes, that Obloquy in the White House is (deliberately) trying to throw everybody back into his depression.

[count-your-change]

Obloquy

“O blokey” sounds very British, probably the name of some drink. When Eden said he had enough obloquy for one day everyone shouted, “Then switch to gin and tonic!”.

[JoeProBono]

[NicknamedBob]

What surprized me in the last two Presidential campaigns was that there was so li'l obloquy extended toward one particular side. It was as if the national media spoke with a single monopolistic voice.

[secret garden]

It took long enough for the NYC I-just-want-to-go-to-the-right-parties hag to figure out the obloquy her candidate had for the American people.

[ConorMacNessa]

It's better to endure obloquy, opprobrium, and ostracism than to acquiesce in the pernicious policies of the Obama Regime.



Keep Faith with the Fallen of Benghazi! Let the Obama Regime, for once, tell the Truth!

O-bla-quy, o-bla-qua, life goes on, brah!...
Lala how the life goes on...

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Middle of the night insomnia ping.

I was awakened by the dulcet chirping of a smoke detector, gently warning me that the battery needed replacing. This occurs every 6 months (approximately) at 4 a.m. (precisely).

[Diogenesis]

Outrageous obstruction of obvious Obloquy by obedient, opprobrious operatives:

[SoothingDave]

You need to buy higher quality batteries. ;-)

[NeoCaveman]

hi.

lost of insomnia going on.

I think it is because we are stuck with four more years of obluquies from Obummer.

[TheGrimReaper]

Just curious - if you know - WHERE are the survivors of Benghazi? And why have we not heard a peep from them? Somewhere on this planet are 30 +/- folks who could very likely shed some light on the lies and obfuscation of 9/11/12 and the 120+ days following.

[ConorMacNessa]

I have no clue as to their whereabouts - I assume they're being held incommunicado at some remote safe house.

[tioga]

I am guessing they are afraid, they watched in horror as theWon got reelected and they fear for their jobs. The first one will crack when we have a Republican president. I would have thought that anyone brave enough to stay with no protection, would be braver than that though.

[tioga]

I suspect it was the caffeine in my drinks yesterday.

[tioga]

Another overnight gig? How do you get so lucky? I did that for a number of years...it got OLD very quickly.

[tioga]

LOL you are an original. A+++

[tioga]

Wonder if theWon’s mouth will look like that today? Pretty sure it could happen. Won’t watch to find out though. A+++

[tioga]

They all drank the koolaid. I am confident it was one cup....like a communion cup. A+++

[tioga]

Bet she wasn’t invited to ANY parties anyway. LMAO the hag is dead to me. A+++

[tioga]

theOdoriferousWon smells of sulfur and spews his lies....and no one with any real authority cares. It’s sick. A+++

[tioga]

O-bla-quy, o-bla-qua, life goes on, brah!...
Lala how the life goes on.

...mmm....ok.....I am sending the men in the little white jackets to check on you today....I knew someone would crack. I just thought it would be xs since she lived at ground zero, but she seems fine in her island getaway.

[tioga]

Our always goes off after DH heads to work, so I have to go pull it off the ceiling myself. I made him change them this last time...if I make him do it when we change the clocks it saves me all that grief.

[tioga]

Perfect. the media has given into socialism without even putting up a fight. The old Soviet Union had to browbeat their media. A+++ Such lovely alliteration, too.

[tioga]

The last 4 years have decimated the economy. What else does he have planned? I suspect he wants to open the flood gates and let in more illegals to drain off what’s left. A+++

[ConorMacNessa]

He is indeed the Spawn of Satan:

[left that other site]

Amen.

[tioga]

that’s what I see when I look at his policies.

[RikaStrom]

I have no idea where the survivors of Benghazi are, and I am pretty sure that if they ever stick there heads out of whatever hole the above it all, godking stuck them in, he would smite them down, because how would anyone dare (big blue innocent eyes) say such obloquies against the actions and policies of the Pric*... erh ... I mean, pResident, after all he's sort of God, according to Newsweek.

[ConorMacNessa]

Turning our Beloved Nation into Sodom and Gomorrah redux.

[mikrofon]

Less than 15 minutes until the Ob-loquy, where Obama will use oblique references to the Constitution to justify further obligations on the American people.

[tioga]

Hey. Nice to see those innocent blue eyes in class. A+++

I do believe they were already terrified for their lives in Benghazi, now they fear for their jobs or IRS audits. Maybe even their lives, still. Someone somewhere is talking though, it’s only a matter of time. Except for the Obamabots who voted for him among the survivors.

[tioga]

A+++

I have banned the TV today...yesterday, while at my 91yr old Dem MIL’s house she had the coverage on and raved about MO’s new hairstyle with bangs.....”she looks so lovely”....I said “yeah, nice hair and arms, it’s just too bad about that big butt”....then I opened my kindle and rudely read. Only thing I could do as my DH, her son, read the newspaper praying I would shut up and not upset his elderly mother, which I did. At 91 I guess you are entitled to live in a fantasy world.

[mikrofon]

%%
Come here sister ... Mama’s in the swing
She ain’t all hip ... about that new breed babe
She ain’t in drag-
Mama’s gotta brand new bangs
%%

[tioga]

she’s a bag all right.

[tioga]

Obama attends church services and is tweeting about himself? (shaking head in disbelief) Glad my TV has been OFF all day.

[SoothingDave]

Everyone else is there to worship him, but Obama must get pretty bored there.

[xsmommy]

You see my steeler nation tweet?
At cayman airport, they have the fricking inauguration on! I hear people squealing for him like he was damn Bon jovi! SICK!

[SoothingDave]

Yes, I did see it. Come back again some time in the fall. I went to watch a game once near the SFO airport at a Steeler bar.

[NeoCaveman]

Cayman airport? Rushing home to get to the ball?

[Texan5]

65 and sunny today-

I’m guessing it is likely best
To ignore the further obloquy,
And the howling worshippers
Of all things labeled “free”

As blasphemous buyers of posters
Depicting Obama as a saviour
Drink his koolaid by the quart
To fuel their outrageous behavior

And if these verses seem to paint
A vision in shades of Winter gray
It is because many have little hope
And Spring seems forever far away

Sorry about that-I suppose should have stayed in the woods for the rest of the day...

[tioga]

It’s just another dreary, snowy day up here in the anti-gun frozen tundra of NY lib land. Your pome fits the weather and the day. A+++

[Texan5]

Thank you-it fits my mood. I was rude to a porker at the general store who had an Obama sticker on her SUV. She used a lonestar card to get frozen pizzas, sugary cereal, ice cream and other nutritionally challenged food, then while the clerk gave her a venomous stare, she waddled out the door and dropped a bunch of crap while opening her vehicle hatch.

I sashayed past, smirked and made loud piggy noises, which I’m very good at. I know, I’m horrid and uncharitable...
