It is 56, gloomy and raining off and on-beautiful and badly needed-

I doubt that a modus vivendi
Can be found for the spending-
The addiction is out of control
And the demand is never ending

Obama’s minions have partaken of
The koolaid made for the masses,
And so they are almost as hooked
As the mob and chattering classes

Rehab will be brutal for them-
The rest of us got nothing for free
We can hardly wait for their begging
As we watch them and howl with glee

Mean and vindictive-hell yeah...

[Diogenesis]

Stop dreaming.

Mr. Romney never wanted to be POTUS, AND he should

BUT HE DID NOT.
