Practice makes perfect.....post on....
"Zerobama -- a phony and a prick, therefore a dildo."

Audience for the Saturday evening show was much smaller than I expected. It was an older crowd.
The only loud reaction at the end was some young? guy mentioning voting Libertarian.
not entirely sure, but the odds are better than hoping that the DEMS will do it! A+++
LMAO!!!!!!!
(shrug) can’t win ‘em all, I guess...
you had that one for awhile and then suddenly it was banned?
so she’s in big girl school now? ; )
xsbaby worked the PAKISTAN festival yesterday out in Manassas, VA, with the Fairfax Co Republicans, with a Romney/Ryan, Allen, Wolf, Perkins etc. booth. George Allen was there, i guess wearing his hairshirt for the macaca moment. xshub had us roaring when he came back from picking her up, said that he’d passed the Sharia law booth, where you could 3 chances to stone a woman for $5, and the IED building booth,etc. So i told my SIL this and her reaction was OMG, that’s wild! she totally believed it.
I never knew until then that FR allowed the "heckler's veto". However, it's Jim's site and his rules must prevail.
it was extremely clever, of course the world is loaded with killjoys. and FR has their fair share.
Hmmmn. So, according to the democratic media, the Social Security and Medicare lockboxes are now definitely vouchsafer after Obama takes 734 million dollars from Medicare?
Vouchsafe
Saw a vouch safe selling on late nite t.v. for three easy payments of $19.95 (a value of over $100 not even counting the lifetime spud peeler and nose hair trimmer!).
A vouch safe goes under the cushions of the couch where the dog normally sleeps unless James R. is home on parole.
It’s just a metal lock box fitted into the springs and 2x4’s holding the couch up and nobody in their right mind would reach under a hound what foams at the mouth like Ol’ Scabby does.
Now you ask, I knew you would, why not “couch safe”? Good question... wellll c and v are real close togather ont the board and sometimes Milo has a way too much CV for breakfast to tell one from the other and couch safe turns into vouch safe.
There it is more or less as found in the Atkinsonville Daily Glob.
But, "naturally not", I suppose (mutter, grumble...).
makes perfect sense! A+++
hi robt. A+++
overweening is a good word, i wonder if any of us have used that for a WFTD.
so no applause? someone behind us in the theater started to clap, so my family enthusiastically applauded. it was probably my friend Brigid and her husband, as we saw them as we left the theater, coming out behind us!
Young ladies’ school. ;-)
When they showed Pelosi in the movie the lady behind me said the words “see you next Tuesday” to her companion.
