Well, yes.

But NaughtyNurse has been known to "exaggerate" things at times....

Not the one I saw this morning. It was a benign thread where defibrillator had pinged everyone who had posted to the huge jpg.

Good day, xsmommy:

I don't care for Tim Russert one bit.
He's annoyingly, brusque. Lacks humor and wit.
A Talking Head who seems to enjoy ambush.

Relishing his gig, exceedingly cush.
If you don't share his opinions,
He'll instantly get in your face.

Though, if you do, he'll lob
Plump and slow soft balls.
His arrogant ego is part of the job.

The King of Liberal Media minions.
I'd love to see his hair on the walls.
Courtesy of Condi, or the elegant Laura Bush!

woman has three preteen/teen daughters get knocked up within months of each other and she finds someone other than HERSELF to blame???

From what I read, it sounds like one of the "dad's" is 38 and lives with mom and pa. Sounds like a real winner.
