If you can make it through this without tapping your toes or banging your desk, check for a pulse.

Of morals, the libs have a dearth
They revel, exploding in mirth
At each termination
Of a mother’s gestation
They don’t like to see a live birth

“I am sorry I misspelled ‘arsenic.’”

My favorite line from this article.

It’s an awesome song. And one of the best bands ever named after a type of weather and a type of headgear.

Accustomed, as we are, to viewing 'The Onion' as a source of mirth, they really missed the boat with this offering: ‘The Miracle of Abortion’: The Onion imagines showing 8th graders the reality of abortion. I can't even read this story. Nothing mirthful is there.

The mirth shown is this pic is long over.

Natalie, twin that is having custody issues, Betrayedhiswife, husband of Kelly, Kelly, and Fauzcohauntus' friend Holly Patreaus. I hear Holly is furious.

Left out of this pic is Gen Allen and the shirtless FBI agent. Ghostwriter for Paula Broadwll's book has been on TV. The cast of characters grows. And it all knocks voter fraud and Benghazi off the radar.

All it needs is someone putting on an adult diaper for a cross country trip and a little blonde missing girl and we’re set for a daytime Emmy.

Mirth

The girth of the lady telling the birth of her baby was met with the mirth of a maybe.
