I want a new computer. This one freezes a couple of times every time I want to post a class. Frustrating.

Obama practices persiflage
A smiling, happy badinage
To disguise true intentions
He just never mentions
He’s pro-Islam; it’s all just a camouflage

I read on Twitter that ebola in New York is a very bad sign.

Cause if it can make it there, it can make it anywhere.

Who wants to wager that the persiflagep about ebola is just about to cease now that it’s reached NYC?

It was unfortunate that two New Yawkers like Cuomo & DeBlasio had to talk about “a bowler with Ebola” in that news conference...

Persiflage?....

Wasn’t that the decorated cloth tied to a knight’s lance as he jested for the ladies’s flavors below King Aurthur’s round table?
