Pour a glass of wine, turn on Obammy, you'll be assured a good night's sleep in less than 5 minutes. In fact, don't pout the wine, the results are the same.

Ohhhhmmmmmm.....

Oh Jeez. That would have been one damn funny thread.

But you gotta know. These mods have no sense of humor.

Trust me I know. I post so many edgy threads that - I swear the mods must have a standard “No Thanks” thread zotter just for yours truly!

lolol

Nice try, though!

His back and forth head turning when reading a scripted speech is very mesmerizing and calculated to ... ah ... um ah mesmerize the dummies. That is why he likes giving speeches at colleges ... it is easy!

California has already outlawed listening to O’bama while driving a car - the risks are too much.

Texas death row inmate pulls out eye, eats it

AP ^ 01/09/2009 Andre Thomas

HOUSTON -- A Texas death row inmate with a history of mental problems pulled out his only good eye and told authorities he ate it.

Andre Thomas, 25, was arrested for the fatal stabbings of his estranged wife, their young son and her 13-month-old daughter in March 2004. Their hearts also had been ripped out. He was convicted and condemned for the infant's death.

This thread has been pulled.

We never knew you could say so little for so long and do it so that it sounds so like you’re actually saying something.

All jokes aside....the State of the Union will probably put a good portion of the audience to sleep. Hope the cameras are on it.

I reckon that was directed at Obammy? My post really wasn't that long! :-)

Maybe the plan is for a whole series of Obama speeches which would increase the demands for assisted suicide? I think I could tough it out personally, but I have a long history of ignoring the “people in charge”. Others, though, might have a harder time of it.

Never thought of that angle. The NWO population reduction, destruction of the US...talk about a two-fer!

What’s up with the gray highlights on the chosen one’s hair?A calculated move to make him look more mature and responsible?Or did the dog just realize that he caught the car,and the stress is doing strange things to him?

“I wish that I was born a thousand years ago
I wish that I’d sail the darkened seas
On a great big clipper ship
Going from this land here to that
In a sailor’s suit and cap
Away from the big city
Where a man can not be free
Of all of the evils of this town
And of himself, and those around
And I guess that I just don’t know
And I guess that I just don’t know”

Calmness comes with a secure CIA, protection for members of the U. S., Homeland Security, and following the terrorists ad infinitum.

So, shut up, Obama, and do the right thing to protect the people of the United States.
