The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list

King Opie has their doo-dads in a jar.
But at least now they can legally start using the little girls toilet.
All he has to do is Dodge and deflect on the issues 8 1/2 months, become the Fringe Lunatic Socialist liberal “elder statesman,” and retire to his Beach house in Qutar, and his world will be perfect.
Thanks a lot Bon and Mitch
Obama will go from blaming Bush to blaming the next admin for everything
Pbbbbbbbt! That’s like dodging a fastball thrown by Montgomery Burns.
My. What’s Big Congress going to do now?
From my understanding, there is now deal. The mad mullahs never signed it, it’s just our fearless leader in the white hut abiding by a deal that never was to ensure his so called legacy.

Thanks Nachum.
