Love it! What will really make this story great is when the douchy liberals try to defend him, then find out he was flashing the east side residents of town, they are going to be so conflicted between rights of the poor downtrodden and the white male abortionist.

i KNOW, and she speaks equally well off the cuff on the shows, always with a great turn of phrase, never at a loss for words. i WISH i was articulate as she is.

I stood next to her at CPAC, she is so tiny! she packs a pretty big punch for being so petite.

Cloudy and a bit damp, but it is 72-

The idolatry of solipsism
Resurrected by Marxist fools
And given to clueless youth
As a model of how mob rules

Should have been left slumbering
Under a pile of tied-dyed cotton
And 60’s bong water leavings
Archaic and smelling rotten-

Today’s youth is just too lazy
To have a philosophy of their own-
They’re recycling the ones trashed
By those who’ve learned and grown...

It’s a war. The only good thing about Romney is that it takes the Catholic church off the table.

But wouldn’t it be kind of interesting if the moderates and nominals did just be honest with themselves and leave the Church?

You speak English very well. Did you learn it from a book?

How adorable that they have an “after life” donation option too. (That was a sarcastic use of “adorable” for the record)
