I must apologize to the fans of the Maple Leafs. Apparently you had the series in hand until I decided to tune in for the final 5 minutes.

Apparently the quacksalver members of the media who have always had Obama’s back have finally discovered that he sees them as an enemy as well.
Who the hell is it that said “it’s only AP phones he is bugging”? Horsefeathers. AP is just the first to be revealed.

Will the Pubs impeach him now??? No.

Mrs. Clinton, the lying quacksalver
Said Benghazi just didn’t involve ‘er
But Greg Hicks’ testimony
Proved that Hillary’s a phony
Not one word that he said did absolve ‘er

When I tell you “I’m sorry” after you read the first two jokes on my homepage, I am a quacksalver.

This is what the spouse, the opposite of a quacksalver, has been singing this morning. The earworm is now in place.

Cute.

My chickens are now in a larger pen, still in the basement. My wife went downstairs yesterday and one of them was out of the are they were in. Now they have a roof and more room to move around.

Yes, the crepe is hanging in our Mississauga office today....

And speaking of a close anagram, I’m sure certain fans of another former first-round team have some strong thoughts about the quacksalvers that “ru n” the League.

I did sleep. She awakened periodically and made mewling noises, but she really doesn’t bark much. Her kennel was dry and clean in the morning. She ran right over to a training pad and peed a number of times after she got out of the kennel. I took her out later and she ran for the grass and did the same and pooped. She seems to be trained pretty good.

I’m not there, but some may be hanging coach Randy Carlyle in effigy, or perhaps some Leafs’ player they hold responsible for the collapse last night…
