Kanye’s main campaign push will be for mental health care for dems
Some schools here started last week. It would not have surprised me if we did, but we didn’t. The 31st is late, but so is Labor Day this year.
Wow that is pretty warm for you all isn’t it?
You mean, besides self-medicating with marijuana?
When medication doesn't work for your insomnia,
Try !Jeb!, the perfect soporic
Can't wait because I am adjunct at the local Community College.
I can’t come up with anything specific
Why TV is making me so torporific
Even the news
And O’Reilly’s views
Are sounding banal and so soporific.
ohhhhhh! well he’s obv drug addled and unhinged besides!
he is indeed! A+++
well yeah, colleges and law schools start sooner than the secondary schools. My daughter is on a quarter system in college, and has been going year round, so school starting hasn’t been relevant to us for a few years, other than that it means MORE TRAFFIC for my commute! LOL!
yes, if not for the dozen and a half republican candidates what would the news even be talking about these days? depressing state of affairs, IMO. A+++
I am laughing at this election cycle. Let’s be real, it matters not who I vote for in NY. Never has, never will.
He is a mental case for sure
You have a right to your own vote but I point out that we have the abomination in the white house because of people like you who refused to vote for Romney

Not for a circus clown.
People are being taken for a ride and the real candidates are being lost in the reality show circus.
Imagine the kind of real examination of the candidates we could have been having if the Clintons hadn’t talked Trump into this ego trip sideshow.
Strangely, I got better grades my freshman year - even against all the hazing, exercisesand extra drill team time, than I did my second year at A&M. Guess I had more sophorific classes than terfific classes.
90’s are not uncommon in August, but about 10 degrees warmer than average.
I live close to the water and that has a dramatic moderatig effect all year, but 5 miles inland, there can be a good 10 to 15 degree difference.
Sophomore year for engineers is brutal, just surviving is a feat.
I voted for Romney, but I can promise I WILL NOT pull the lever for Jeb Bush if he is the Repub candidate. I don't see him as being any different than Killary Clinton.
