Hey, I was just down at our local Fred Meyer store. A dozen muffins for $7. And they looked good! ;-)

You must think all Republicans are conservative; there is sometimes a difference.
As I said before; Ron Paul would be a disaster. He would do as much damage to our nation as Obama has done.

The “something else” is politicians paying back the unions and other supporters.

In other words the muffin alone was not $16.
Based on the muffin, the coffee was also probably a coffee and something else.

It's good of you to keep the theme of satire alive in this thread.

I was expecting the part about Bachmann attacking Perry for supporting $16 muffins — for 12 year old little girls.

Why are you so concerned?

That’s what stimulating the economy is all about!

[ Paul’s foreign policy views are toxic and would destroy our nation. ]

I disagree..
The U.S. has no business with military in Turkey, Korea, Japan, Germany and its time to get out of Iraq...

And for God sake get rid of any aid to Americas enemies .. Like Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia..

The federal government scope should be reduced by at least 70 %... maybe 80 %...

>"Ron Paul wants a return to the Constitution.. And many call him crazy...

I agree with about 99.9% of RP.

It's that .1% is a cyaninde tab of isolationism.

Thanks to jug ear jesus, and get along George, the stinky little hitler of iran is gonna have a bomb soon!

Burying our head in the sand is what got US here!

leftists think that overspending is good for the economy.....

Their overspending ideology can only be tolerated with other peoples money.

Thank you for another superb piece of satire and proving that separating government policy from absurdity is darn near impossible.

Great job, John. Don't you just love Jay Carney? My, how he can twist things.

By-the-way, how long has it been since Dumbo The Flying Marxist gave an actual press conference?
