What is wrong with the ‘rat party-?
They must live in confusion
What they “see” as reality
Is obviously a delusion

Despite the contradistinction
Between policies in this race
They desperately cling to Obama-
They worship his words and face

Their baseless hero worship
Is certainly one for the books-
It reminds me of Carter or Nixon
With their idiots and crooks

A+++ Excellent! I think O will go down in the history books as worse than Carter, and that is saying something.

We have a contradistinction in this house with the new dog compared to our former collies. They did not mind the cat and only barked when necessary or while playing together. This new dog consistently tries to attack the cat and barks much more than any dog should. I miss my old dogs. This one is not a good replacement but he needed us. Now I have to chase his big bohunkus off the leather couch again for the THIRD TIME TODAY! There’s a lot to be said for raising a dog yourself and not having to deal with this nonsense that goes along with rescues.

Romney made a birther joke. I'm surprised it didn't get more reaction on the freep.

Here’s how you can tell who said what. Does the stupidity make you pity him? Then it’s Michael Scott. Does it make you want to blast him for being such an idiot? Then it’s obviously bidenblather. That one was bidenblather.

This season of The Office will be the last. Mercifully. I don’t know if I can handle any more.

Signs was on TV again this week. I love parts of that movie. Especially this scene.

Robert California ruined it. Have you seen Longmire yet? It’s not a funny show, but it’s good.

Real homework here. This video presents a contradistinction of what the media claims the black community wants.

Yes, California was a bad character. Then Nellie came along. Even worse.

Haven’t seen “Longmire.”
