Will Burger King's bacon sundae be a success, or will it fuel Michelle Obama's asperity in the dog days of summer?

145 Days till we vote the bums out of the White House. Lot’s to do till then, look lively!

It is the abandonment of the core values that made this Nation great that has cast us upon the roiling sea of asperity in which we now find ourselves.



Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Issa treats Holder with asperity
Unfazed by the A.G.’s faux sincerity
There’s one thing that we know
He’s worse than Janet Reno
He’ll leave a negative mark for posterity

[SAJ]

Most women would have to add some serious pounds to their backsides in order to achieve asperity with Moochelle.

[tioga]

Liberal and core values don’t go together at all. A ++

[tioga]

[NeoCaveman]

[MrB]

Does anyone have assparity with Michelle Obama?

[MrB]

Glad to see I’m not the only one that saw that pronunciation of the word in context...

[xsmommy]

i don't know if i can make it, Ti. i don't see how i am going to stand it. the asperity i feel when reading crap that makes blood shoot out of my eyes is enormous. xshub was reading aloud to me a book review from some SU alumni publication, of a book about Romney, written by a Jew, who in the first SENTENCE of the review mentions Romney's religion. HOW IS THAT $%^@ing RELEVANT? i mean, i could ask the same of the LOOONatics on FR who harp on it in thread after thread, but honestly, WHO GIVES A * about the fact that Romney is a Mormon??? My SIL said that someone at church asked her sister about it. XS-SIL and her family are evangelical Baptists. Some guy asked her sister about voting for a Mormon. Kandy said, hey, he may end up in Hell, but while he's on earth he will do a better job with this country than the current occupant of the WH!! end of story!

[mikrofon]

With their typical asperity, the Left believes that a $10/hr minimum which reduces “wage disparity” will actually increase prosperity...

[xsmommy]

Tom Donilon should be fried for this. His nephew is a year behind xsrisingsenior at her HS.

[tioga]

Obama is going down, and it ain’t gonna be pretty. A+++

[tioga]

A++++ for the biggest laugh of my morning.

[NeoCaveman]

All the way down?

LOL.

[tioga]

Mormon v Muslim. I’ll take the Mormon.
Capitalist v Marxist. I’ll take the capitalist.
Free Economy v Black Liberation Theology. I’ll take freedom.

What are people thinking? A++++

[yldstrk]

I am working to eradicate all asperity from my temperament

[SoothingDave]

First off, it’s actually a good thing that clear lines are being drawn in the HHS mandate battle. Enough wishy washy church.

Secondly, don’t you know that your soul is eternally linked to the beliefs of the politicians for whom you vote? That seems to be the standard line around here.

Ironic, isn’t it, that those who would tell you their salvation is assured are most worried about Jesus judging them for voting for a Mormon?
