Angela Corey to present new information in Trayvon Martin case
OK, students. The teacher is in the building, take your seats, homework on my desk ASAP. Want a good grade...link to current news story or the extra pluses will not appear. Or you can take your chances that I will laugh at your post and it will magically appear.

The girl’s parents have reportedly named her Luz Milagros, which means 'miracles'.
HOW could that have happened? Incompetence hardly applies here. A+++
Spending all of the dough he can cadge
Barry don’t need no stinkin’ badge
His accomplishments—few
Hates both Christian and Jew
Is he ready to go on his Haj?
LOL A+++
soooo good!!
Did Mike Huckabee Open His New Radio Show With a ‘Planted Call’?
I wish him as much success as all the others who have gone up against Rush. That is to say, not much.
His TV show puts me to sleep, won’t be tuning into his radio show at all...Rush rocks. A+++
Sorry I don’t attend classes as often as I had, but the job requires a lot of my time and study so I need not cadge co-workers to identify and resolve issues.
I have met no one who wants 4 more years. I cling to that. A+++
please continue to tell me that on occasion, so that i too may have hope! i’d like to put myself in suspended animation for several months, waking up just in time to cast my ballot.
I saw Allen west as a trending topic on Twitter....OMG...the lefties are out in force to trash him. huff put up a story saying he said that he was told there are 80 communists in Congress......I would say his numbers are low. LOL
one of the comments said he cuts his hair with a ceiling fan
well if he does, it looks damn good on him!
wait, you said you have met NO ONE who wants 4 more years. your motherinlaw and sisterinlaw????
I am in banquet season, having to stalk invitees on CPR scenes, at the station, on FB, email, texts....they know what I want when they see me coming. Two banquets, two weekends in a row. I am crazed.
Cadge
Here at the Atkinsonville Cosmic Wind we use this cadge word alot since begging is a common carreer choice and leaves the alumnum cans to those that need them for their living. OK.
Now cadge could also be what a codger does in expectoration of getting a free burger from the local Slimey’s if he’ll leave the premises immediately. Stay with me, this is newspaper talk and may sound better when read from actual paper.
Last is possumble (hoooWhewww...I thought my orange drink was a little perfumey this morning!) is cadge is like cage with a spare letter tossed in....kinda like being held prisoner in a dry county....!!
huh, if they do want 4 more they didn’t dare discuss it at the family dinner on Easter Sunday. LOL when you are in the minority, keep your head low.
so the consensus there was anti-obams? that’s a relief to me.
To "cadge" is specifically to ask for something small and of little value, as a favor. It can be mildly annoying if repeated -- then you become a "bot" or perpetual moocher.
E.g. "Can I cadge a quarter?" "Can I cadge a light?" or, in Australia, "Can I cadge a rollie?" (i.e. may I have the makings for a hand-rolled cigarette).
A+++ only a true cadger would spike his OJ.
Beaten in 2012,
Obama the media did shelve.
He cadged to refill his stash,
But landed broke on his ass.
Soon rejected in Chicago,
He chose the fate of Iago.
well, one SIL owns her own small biz, another SIL has a brother who commanded a ship in the Navy, many young nieces and nephews who want jobs.....even my lib SIL is hurting financially....what always makes me laugh about her is that she has a son living with her.....in his 30s with no job or desire for one. she is retired and still supporting him. the classic liberal laugh.
Would they cage or cudgel a cadging codger?
More cogently: could they cage or cudgel a cadging codger?
you looks so much younger in that pic. ;^)
Sometimes the codgers cudgel up together.
But I preminisced no return of the salad days.
Working on a bid that is getting to the stage where it is like pulling teeth to get the final little details...
Obama takes all the money
That he can cadge or rob-
In dire cases, he employs
The tactics of the mob
He’s lost sight of the fact
That this happened before-
We know just what Nixon did
And how he was shown the door
And channeling Jimmy Carter
Isn’t helping his case at all-
Rising gas prices only fuel
More momentum for his fall
are salad days the same as ramen noodle days?
US history can’t be theO’s strong suit when he spend grade school years in Thailand....after that he must have coasted on his affirmative action status through constitutional law. A+++
good luck! A+++
Thank you!
I don’t think the screwups of Nixon beyond Watergate itself are much talked about in HS US history classes-the mob connections, enemy lists, blackmail, etc-it would make young people too knowledgeable. And Carter’s self-designed halo isn’t going to be tarnished by historical honesty as long as he is still alive...
I was quoting from “Raising Arizona.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salad_days
“Salad days” is an idiomatic expression, referring to a youthful time, accompanied by the inexperience, enthusiasm, idealism, innocence, or indiscretion that one associates with a young person. More modern use, especially in the United States, refers to a person’s heyday when somebody was at the peak of his/her abilities—not necessarily in that person’s youth.
These people who beg for goodies at O’s public venues wear it like a “cadge of honor”…
LOL A+++
I once had a lady friend who was always bumming money off me. She was a bird in a gilded cadge.
And I’ll betcha Big Al Sharptoon and Jessie Jackass are hiring school busses to cadge a riot as we have never seen before.
LOL A+++
A+++ Zimmerman will be charged. They can all go home now, right? I thought not.
