Cab Calloway: "Hi-de, Hi-de ho."

Any random kangaroo: "Hi-de, Hi-de bound."

Hillary, the double-wide clown
On liberal doctrine, hide-bound
Hear her lie, scream and shout
Constitution is out
So just take a chill pill and lie down

Obama, with his hidebound cabal of leftists, continues to stuff America down the toilet.

I highly recommend Dreher's book on Dante. I understand and accept his reasons for leaving the Catholic church. The other guy I have never heard of, and he was NEVER a catholic, based on his views, IMO.

So Michelle gives a racist speech
Whiny and selfish, it was a peach!
The racist witch
just loves to bitch
Then run off to vacation on a beach.

Hillary is his ticket to relevance. He’s obscure and a nobody without the Clintons’ shirttails.

I know we have been saying it, but hearing Ann Graham say it makes it even more alarming.

It appears more people are starting to think the same thing we were laughed at for thinking a few years ago. It may soon be time to go to ground and pray for the best outcome...

We were rained out just after 11, so I stopped at the deli for a turkey cheese and veggie whole grain pita for dinner tonight-

Anything that Hillary says
No matter the form or fashion
Is spoken in boring monotone
That hardly inspires passion

Her hidebound socialist views
Are too impossible to disguise
Unlike Bill, she has no skill
At spinning believable lies

She is hoping the driveby media
Say her silence is nothing big-
But I doubt even they can put
Enough lipstick on that pig...
