Funny how that works, isnt it?

Who can expect BHO to know the geography in all 57 states? Or his coastal minions for that matter.

For a minute, I thought you were quoting Henry Standing Bear - It's a beautiful day here at the Red Pony and continual soiree.

Who can expect BHO to know the geography in all 57 states?

lmao!

[mikrofon]

That’s great ... I’ve always wanted property in the Adirondacks!

[tioga]

Since I live just east of Binghamton, that makes us next door neighbors. LOL

[mikrofon]

I’ve got to remember to get my O-mask to properly greet him during his bus tour through the area…

It is partly cloudy, in the 90s, with a small chance of showers in the afternoon-normal late summer here. I do hope for an early Fall...

Anthony Weiner wants to have
A political career again
Because he stopped sexting
Long enough to count to ten

Odds are that he can’t keep
His fingers off the keys
Or dialing some girl’s phone
And indulging in more sleaze

There are plenty of Ms Leathers
For him to stalk and haunt-
After enduring Bloomingidiot
Is Carlos Danger what people want?

[Texan5]

That map makes his “bus tour” look like a day trip-media don’t know how to show a real map?

[mikrofon]

Obama, our Federal suzerain
Always above reproach — lose or win.
But with him at the top
Our decline’s tough to stop;
We may not get out of the noose we’re in.

[mikrofon]

That area west of the Hudson is all wilderness, home to those vicious Casino Indian tribes…

(Aren't they part of Canada too??)

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

A+++
Excellent limerick!

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Nice poem, but I can’t grade it because you didn’t use the WFTD. :)

[Texan5]

Oops! Sorry about that-

Weiner wants to be suzerain
Was what I meant to say-
But then my humor ran amok
And carried me away...

[Texan5]

I’m totally distracted by a tutorial CD and sample of a new prefab energy smart, hurricane rated wall building product I just got-it is just about the neatest thing I’ve seen-panels of heavy duty solid urethane backed with concrete board on both sides with a 20 gauge metal channel top and bottom-talk about fast framing...

A++ for a nice recovery.
