Terrific news! Congrats!!

[SoothingDave]

Good news! I was going to ask how that was all going.

[xsmommy]

thanks I am so relieved, I really, really wanted this one for him.

[xsmommy]

he had the phone interview last Friday, the in person panel interview in their ofc yesterday afternoon. As he was pulling out of our driveway for the interview he noticed he had a MASSIVE flat tire on the FJ cruiser, I mean cartoonishly flat. He called xshub who told him to call UBER [the car service which has the taxi industry in an uproar] They got there within minutes and had him to the interview with 5 min to “spare.” He of course told them that in the interview, too. So I was feeling he was meant to have the job, but was afraid to get my hopes up too high.

I’m curious - now that obam has decided to wage war against ISIS, and they have control of oil fields, is his war now a blood for oil situation like his supporters accused President Bush of doing?

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

His adoring fans think he is funny,

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Congrats! That is wonderful

[Honorary Serb]

Either obama’s authority as President and his intelligence are impalpable, or else he is a golfing, multi-vacationing puppet.

I vote for the latter alternative!!!!

[xsmommy]

thanks!

On our local Fox station, they are doing a remote at a place called Tactical Firearms in Katy. This place has a sign out front that usually has some kind of funny/rude comment about the current administration - pretty funny stuff. Anyway in June they were notified that the bank would not do business with them any longer. No loans, no checking- nothing. Holder and his mafia have strong armed the banks to stop business with folks they don't like, such as gun manufacturers or dealers. So a thriving business that hadn't missed a single payment was being forced out of business. So he did what all of us wish we had the ability to do - he got private funding and flipped off the administration "figuratively".

So - back to the remote - he had a great line: "the enemies of guns are rust and politicians"

I was just wondering if xsboy found a job yet. I thought maybe I missed the news. Glad to hear it. Congrats to him.

It’ll be none too soon when the impalpable Pres_ency of this impudent, self-important, impotent POSeur is impaleable, i.e. “Stick a fork in ‘im – he’s done!”

[xsmommy]

how cool! xsBro and SIL used to live in Katy about 20 years or so ago.

[xsmommy]

thank you!

[xsmommy]

and we didn't even get around to talking about this outrage yesterday.

[xsmommy]

This is tragic, prayers for Jimbo.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Disgusting overreach

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Did that squirrel he wears on his head fall over his eyes while he was driving a tractor?

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

If Bush’s war was for oil, where the hell is the oil?

Re: Your tagline—
I believe it was Trey Gowdy who said that now Obama is trying for the Nobel Prize in Fiction.

A++
All we need to know about Obama’s alleged intellect is this:
If his college grades were really terrific, he wouldn’t have spent a million bucks on lawyers to keep them hidden.
