Couple of years ago my friend’s brother went to the ER in the VA in a diabetic stupor. He was told to take a seat and wait to be called. A few minutes later he died, still in the seat, waiting to be called.

You shouldn’t freak out about a poor candidate losing a low turnout special election by a hair.

...and should know the truth about GWB’s septum and Barky’s anus.

Lately, it seems the former is in the latter.
