I think it would be a killer franchise in the ‘hood.
I’ll put my first dozen locations in Chicago.
Blowprah, Rev Wright, Rhambo, and Mooch can attend the grand opening.

They are really desperate if they think that she can save their asses in November. It says a lot that she's the best hope the democrats have.

Put her out there over and over in that $12,000 blue dress and have her preach income inequality. That’ll do it.

She recently went on “The Tonight Show” and joked that young people needed health insurance because theyre knuckleheads likely to get hurt.
No, Michele, they’re called “knuckleheads” because
they vote democrat.

He's saying what I'm saying. Only leftist elitist snobs like Moochelle. Heartland America despises her.

You'd think the Dems would have learned when she appeared during an awards show and people were unhappy and viewed it as an intrusion. As far their idea to send her out there, I hope they put her on every show possible. It'll only help the opposition.

Speaking with “normal adults” today, they are annoyed that they are changing the food labels again.
It’s not rocket science folks!... the Wookie is only trying to put her thumb print on this, by dumbing it down even further.

The only food stuff remotely healthy in that pic are the sausages. Everything else appears to be deep fried.
