I’m looking forward to the public ruction about to take place when the new Obamacare numbers are released. Of course, the media will quickly bury the story, but we know what’s coming.

The Hillary email-gate ruction
Requires the complete production
Of her personal server
And to this observer
Wiping it equals obstruction

Bill O’Reilly, the blowhard, has caused a ruction among the academic community with his “spin” on the legality of Anchor Babies. Simply put, okn this subject, like many, O’Reilly doesn’t know his @ss from a hole in the ground, if he had his finger in it.
