At the moment I posted that comment, I couldn’t remember marshall’s first name. I could just see her sour, smarmy face. LESLIE. It’s Leslie Marshall and Alan Colmes who both delight in tearing down traditional values. Sandra Flucke is another oone. In fact, Marshall is on right this minute. Her sneering face makes me want to puke.

BTW, for all you east coasters, news from the midwest: it’s snowing right now. Lightly snowing, but still, snow. Coming your way.

Well, I can't be accused of suffering from normalcy bias.

Actually I suffer from the normalcy bias of others.

An iconoclast in his fantasies,
King Obama rushes with zeal
Into mindless made-up schemes
Pretending it is all real

The website is a danger zone
Of identity theft, and more-
And people choose to opt out
When they see behind the door

Obama’s minions are shocked-
They’ve been caught in lies
As his numbers keep falling
No matter what trick he tries...

Schadenfreude, schadenfreude, nya, nya, nya-I’m as gleeful at seeing clueless liberals go down in flames as some ancestors must have been when Moctezuma got his just deserts for selling out to the Spaniards...

You seem normal to me. Of course I’m the one wearing the sandwich board saying the End is Near so. X

Thank you!

Que Dios los castigue-that would make up for the trashing of the lives and finances if many-including myself...

Well, to be honest, your message isn’t getting thru, because it comes off as an advertisement.

Not the time to go commando;-)

When saying "the End is near"

Seems right to me.

The biblical Jeremiah had to put up with a lot of crap too, I guess.

Are you suggesting that we have become Chaldea?

When we tease you, it’s in the spirit of 31:3.

But you already knew that.

Jeremiah was a bullfrog,
Was a good friend of mine.

Thanks for the earworm.

JA.
