Can’t wait to see if the slackers at BLS at the Dept of Leisure produce a timely jobs report, or will they cite Sandy as an excuse?
True, true. It does feel so good to wake up concinnatitty under the warm blankets on a cold morning .....
I’m guessing the dog ate the homework over at the department of organized labor.
Don’t worry, soon we’ll have a Secretary of Business to help us along.
First task: figure out what the difference is between commerce and business.
Great to hear - glad you were spared.
Thanks. We were very lucky.
Whoa baby! That wuz sum bad jug of applejack!!
As a professional intellectual here’s how you handle that:
Call a meeting, discuss the matter, consult with experts, prepare a public denial, promise investigation, issue progress statements, don’t live in the past, work on current problems, call a meeting to discuss New Business, move on, ask “What Sin?”, demand proof.
Now you’re wondering, “What’s a professional intellectual?”
That’s someone paid to think as when my friend said, “A penny for your thoughts”. He also said he very much over paid.
Lib discourse has little concinnity,
Common sense? Nowhere in vicinity.
The things that they say
Make you just back away:
“Vote Obama & lose your virginity.”
A+++
Outstanding, as usual. (Is that an oxymoron?)
Sandy claimed my team’s home playoff game as a casualty. The league was putting pressure on teams with grass fields to move to other sites if their fields were not “suitable.” So we’ll have our “home game” on Friday at a nearby school with artificial turf.
I’m glad to hear you stayed high and dry-being trapped in a hurricane is not a thing to be wished on anyone but a deadly enemy...
Obama’s minions are frantic
In an effort to win the battle,
Their captive voters stampeding
Like spooked and nervous cattle
Hysteria has taken the media,
Those worshippers of Obama-
They’re not into concinnity,
And now it’s all about drama
If you ask them about Bengazi
They suck the oxygen from a room
While warning that Romney and Ryan
Would arrive in office on a broom...
Thank you, FRiend
I’m glad to hear you survived transvestite storm Sandy* in one piece...
A+++
It looks like I’ve been saving the highest grades until the end.
Thank you!
I know they alernate names of hurricanes by gender, and I saw that the previous one was Raphael, which makes Sandy a female. I guess going from a hurricane to a storm does qualify Sandy as a transvestite, and thus for special hate-crime treatment for anyone who speaks ill of her/it. So far, I only know of about 4 million people who have done so.
Curiously—they don’t use the letters Q, U, X, Y, or Z.
Well did either of them "build that"? We need to know.
I have two nephews in AC, one lives there and owns a business there, the other works there and lives about 10 miles inland. Caught up with the later on FB, not heard from the one who lives out there. His brother last heard from him at 7pm Tuesday night. Which reminds me, I should check FB again.
Did you have another baby?
Prayed for everyone I knew was in the horror from hell.
