The mala fide certification of his citizenship left a lot to be desired. The jokes just write themselves:

The idea of the obozo clan spending up to 100 Million to take a trip to Africa in light of the Sequester cuts of white House tours etc... show mala fide

I had gone to YouTube to find a nice version of "Mala Femmina" and that clip came up. The singer is Nino Rossano. He's been around for awhile.

More songs here.

Not to be confused with mala fido, a bad dog.

Such a sad day. Vince Flynn dies of prostate cancer at age 47. Love his books and character, Mitch Rapp. Will miss him. Guess I will share this with DH, who thinks he should do nothing about his prostate cancer.

I want to cry when I read that, need to let it out. DH still refusing to get treatment. Can’t even talk to friends about this without crying these days.

There is, indeed a noun expression—”mala fides.”
It translates into “bad faith.”

Really sorry to hear about Vince Flynn.

i don’t blame you. it’s very hard to understand his mindset. i would be throwing an ungodly fit until he capitulated and went for treatment. have you tried that yet?

Yes, they’re doing it just to irritate you. ;) Seriously, you have to not allow a song to have that much power over you.

Beautiful article on Vince Flynn highlighting his Catholic faith. I will admit to some tears while reading it.

I had never heard that song, until I noticed it in that Shoe Dazzle ad when I was in the hospital. I brought it up here, and most, if not all, of you had never heard it before. Since my bitter complaints about it, I have heard it repeatedly and in various formats. It is the background music in a VODKA ad! Now theme music for Gov. Perry’s introduction! What next?

Does anyone ever listen to the lyrics before they co-opt these things as theme music?

I got this feeling on the summer day when you were gone.
I crashed my car into the bridge. I watched, I let it burn.
I threw your sh*t into a bag and pushed it down the stairs.
I crashed my car into the bridge.

I don’t care, I love it. I don’t care.

You’re on a different road, I’m in the milky way
You want me down on earth, but I am up in space
You’re so damn hard to please, we gotta kill this switch
You’re from the 70’s, but I’m a 90’s b*tch

I love it!
I love it!

Pretty negative thoughts to promote a product, or person.
