Hysterical, mostly because it’s true.

Thank you very much for my grade!

Lies, exaggeration and obfuscation are pillars of leftist philosophy. In an honest discussion, with an informed electorate, Obama would carry D.C. Period.

Right.

Our so-called "news" media are unconscionable and no longer function as sources for news, but as creators of "news" which have proved to be lies and leftist spin in matters of extreme importance to both our national security and our presidential election.

That obscure film didn't cause the riots and American deaths in the Middle East, and the Marxist hasn't been vetted to this day, nor has he been grilled on any serious matter since he's been in office!

I am referencing the lamestream of course.

God bless and keep you. Your screen name is perfect. Stick with the truth Romney and win this one! The Palestinians have never wanted peace.

Thanks for the kind words. I picked my screen name back when Billy Clinton was president. Compared to Obama, Clinton was George Washington.

On “Talk Like A Pirate Day,” I always use a Spanish accent. I try to sound like Roberto Clemente.

So, instead of ‘arrr!’, you say ‘arrr lo!’ ?

Actually, the last two words in definition 2 should not be divided that way. Usually written as one word: Electrodeposition (”electro-deposition”).

This is the 40th anniversary of the Immaculate Reception, so that’s getting a lot of retrospective press.

It happened just a week before Clemente’s death. Talk about your highs and lows.

What’s a pirate’s favorite letter?

A++
I don’t respond to coercion. Bribery, however, is another story. I’ll email my PayPal info to you. How does $10 for each + sound?
