“Potvaliant” sounds like he should be Bluntman and Chronic’s new superfriend.

Shouldn’t this be when someone is high on pot, not booze?

Potvalient on the intoxicant of a stolen election, the left may tip its hand right over the fiscal cliff.

One would think, but this dates back to when people apparently kept their booze in pots.

I am of the opinion that the left will come out smelling like a rose on the raised taxes and we will just look like mean old rich people who hate anyone who isn't white.

The lying dem machine just has to say the word "racism" and the GOP bows and scrapes. They blame us for everything - our fault poor children and the elderly will starve because they can't get their checks. The Rich will party (except for the dems because their parties are exempt) while not paying anything in taxes... So the GOP will cave so they don't look mean and obam won't cut any spending and we will face this again in 6 months, a year? Soon.

James B. Gallone, no age available, of Greensburg, grabbed a container of Colt 45 malt liquor and attempted to leave a Hempfield Towers apartment at 8 p.m. Thursday after an argument with Vanessa L. Robinson, 28, state police said.
Police said Robinson became “enraged over him taking the final beer” and began punching and kicking Gallone, who then emptied the beer onto the floor.
Robinson allegedly stabbed Gallone multiple times with a butcher knife

Maybe the gov’t should give out “beer stamps” so this type of tragedy doesn’t happen again.

Yes, beer stamps, as a way of moving towards beer justice.

I should point out by “tragedy” I meant the spilling of the final beer. The guy wasn’t killed.

And the correlate word, ‘sotvalient’, quite naturally describes a person who becomes potvaliant on a daily basis.

That reminds me of the guy who visits a psychiatrist while dressed only in Saran Wrap. Doc says: "I can CLEARLY see your nuts."
