This was pretty cool. I saw it on the news last night.
Nein.
she shoulda pecked his dang eyes out, he has some nerve trying to take her babies out from under her!
i guess the mainstream media doesn’t find it compatible with their impression of Pope Frank, to be ragging on their comrades, so they have kept his pleas quiet.
I follow him on Twitter but haven’t seen him call them out yet.
1 per customer.
boom, you’re sued. i am suffering instant mental anguish.
Oh, no! Are you too anguished to work?
Reminds me of the apocryphal story about the ballplayer, let’s say Yogi Berra, who goes out to dinner. When they serve the bread, he gets one pat of butter.
He asks for another. The lady says “One per customer.”
He says “Don’t you know who I am?”
“No.”
“I’m Yogi Berra!”
“Don’t you know who *I* am?”
“No.”
“I’m the lady who passes out the butter. One per customer.”
very similar to DMV employees— they have the power to control your life in this one tiny area and dammit they are going to make sure they get the most out of it.

We are supposed to have a couple of warm days-up to the 70’s-then cold again-groundhog day...
I can’t name many in the DC pack
Who aren’t labeled scattergood-
They’d spend our last pennies
If they thought they could

Know where it comes from-
It comes from our paychecks,
As it leaves our budgets bare
But Obama’s minions want more
To throw around without a care
I love this one!
I saw the latest McDonald’s frivolous lawsuit this morning on the news-how I would love to see the Edwards-wanna-bes smacked down every time they filed a frivolous suit, which clutter the courts and delay every suit that actually has merit...
It makes me want to hold my breath till I turn blue, so I can only imagine how you feel about it...
For my husband and I alone it would be nearly $1000 dollars for policies with $6000 deductibles. Even those who qualify for subsidies will still have a very large deductible. It is insane
