Ouch.
It is overcast and really humid, looks like it is going to rain...
Hillary and her madcap staff
Have shown us all once more
Unless you’re a rich donor
You can’t get near the door
Her driveby media mascotos
Are as devoted as the pope’s-
But even so they had to go
And stand outside the ropes
Believing they were special
Now, they are really pissed-
Queen Hillary has screwed them
And they weren’t even kissed...
She just can’t get past that Leona Helmsley queen of mean attitude...
That is great news! But I’d cry if I was a guy and got clipped...
When it happened to me I couldn’t walk for a year!
My neighbor is on his third Tacoma (one was wrecked) so I guess he likes ‘em.
Crew cab is the biggest cab available. If the rear doors are just about the same size as the front doors, then it’s a crew cab. Otherwise, it’s an extended cab. Manufacturers vary in their terminology, but it’s basically standard cab (1 row of seats), extended(2 rows, but limited space/small doors), and crew cabs.
RME-neither do unclipped boys...
