Taking gossip and politics
Back into iniquity’s den

And not hiking in the woods

With sex and public venues just
Almost too amusing to handle...

If a republican writes a letter to a page, he is immediately banned for life from public office. But a democrat can drown his mistress, get fellated by an intern, or broadcast pix of his weiner to the universe, and it’s all good, just as long as he promotes the liberal cause. If the left didn’t have the double standard, they’d have no standard at all.
I’m glad we saved for $40. She can spend it on xanax instead. He had a rough morning so I didn’t mind leaving for bible study. It was so peaceful there...
Saved HER $40 not saved for. You can see I’m still bleary-eyed from the noise all morning. Shelties are pretty vocal, as a breed anyway. Pretty but sometimes too yappy.
