Better late than never. Sorry, I got busy with dealing with my knee and forgot what day it was. I am here now.
“Mmmm, I love chocolate eclats”, said Obama.
“Just wait, cried Kevmo, eclats will be the power source
of the future”.
That was a brilliant idea! Bringing well-lit french pastries to class on a friday. What an eclair!
How is the rehab going?
Michelle Obama sees herself
As stylish but is just éclat-
Loudly colored, ugly clothing
To hide that her butt is fat
A few too many French fries
Go into her always-open mouth
As she tells us what to eat
From Canadian border to South
She should eat that food herself-
Go hike with granola in a pouch-
Instead, she wears dresses that
Look like someone killed a couch...
It is overcast, still and sultry-getting ready to rain again, like it did last night, I hope...
“well-lit french pastries”
Are they made with lots of brandy or cognac?
I love chocolate eclats.
constipated? try eclat!
Warren is dangerously stupid-so I can only assume anyone who buys into her lala land nonsense has the IQ of an artichoke-not even intelligent enough to be an Obama voter...
Glad to see you up and feeling better! At least I HOPE that is the case!
Your poem reminded me of a video I watched the other day - about how they had PROOF that mooshell is a man~ The very first thing they said was only men had a ring finger longer than their pointer finger....absolute proof that she is male. So I’m here to announce, today, that I must be male because my ring finger is slightly longer than my pointer finger. And since I adore my husband that must mean I’m gay too.
My ring fingers on both hands are longer, too. I’ve always enjoyed being one of the guys-now I know why...
What are those in the video basing their opinion on, anyway?
I try not to cuss on line but have to say this bastard is going to get us into a World War with Russia!
The authors are no doubt convinced she is a guy, but I don’t think so-my shoulders are wide-18 inches or so-and I have been told I have masculine arms, but I have done physical work for years and like physical activities, and that is bound to make a mark on my appearance. And take it from someone who has no boobs or hips to speak of-all that junk in the first grifter’s trunk does not belong to a guy...
I don’t really think he is able to get us into WWIII all by himself-thank God-if he did, the first thing that could happen would be that the generals might relieve him of command as CIC for incompetence-and that might not be so bad, after all...
A lot of the older Generals have retired or been replaced - a lot of the current leadership in the military are his boys...lots of things have been happening behind the scenes but former military guys are very concerned
So are a lot of the active ones-and even the dumbest generals whose loyalty has been purchased have learned proper military strategy-it isn’t good to piss off the troops-just ask the Romans about that...
A++ they are yummy
