Ooh-two neat words-
Obama’s minions peculate from
Even the poor who have jobs-
Anyone with a paycheck now
Joins all us that he robs
It was taken by an ambuscade,
Their attention stolen away
With a promise of free goodies-
Now instead, they have to pay
I really don’t have much sympathy-
They’ve brought it on themselves
Now they know what happens to those
Who believe in socialist elves...
Hope the preparation for your starring role are going well...
oh you missed the news on Friday? the 6th Cir issued a decision in my case just based on the briefs, but didn’t bother to let me know until the decision was out. no matter, i won the case and don’t have to go, so all’s well that ends well!
If that was a baby shower, I’d hate to see their idea of a frat party...
Hurrah and congratulations! Where’s the champagne and confetti?
180 guests. Cash bar. Unbelievable.
