I should be hearing a steady chorus of voices.

9 out of the 10 voices in my head told me to stay home and clean my guns today!

I was getting excited and thought this whole Obama winning the Presidency was just a coffee hallucination, but pinched myself and realized even coffee couldn’t make this happen just stupid people.

Remember when the libs created the ‘COFFEE PARTY’ as the Tea Party of the libtards?

Now you know why they picked coffee....they believed in the hopeychangey unicorn.
