Leona is quite dead. It is Hillary who is slightly dead.

[Louis Foxwell]

Hillary likes dogs too. There is her favorite, Bill.

Every time I see that logo i see the first plane (AA Flight 11) going into the World trade center. I can’t help it...that’s what it says to me.

Apart from the first 28 seconds, that was a pretty good hockey game last night.

The Rangers forechecking was intense.

Here’s an interesting arbitrage:
Let’s take today’s word “badinage”
We won’t mock or scoff it,
We’ll sell it for profit,
And end up with a new word, “Persiflage”.

(That one is mine.)

[Cowman]

So Hillary and Huma are driving around the country in a van. Does this mean the campaign theme song is going to be “Highway to Hill?”

[Louis Foxwell]

She has forever linked herself with this horror.

[catnipman]

Oh, yes, badinage! We used to love to play that game in the backyard when we were kids. We got our badinage set with all the S&H Green stamps we saved up. The set included the net, racquets, and a bunch of those birdie things.

[left that other site]

That’s the picture.

You read my mind.

[Louis Foxwell]

Uh Oh. Not persiflage. Anything but persiflage. You have established your brilliance by completely upsetting the apple cart.

Now we are going to have a problem.

Awarded once before but most appropriate here is the POETESS AWARD:

[Louis Foxwell]

Hill and Huma driving around the country in a van...."

There will be songs written and jokes told.

[Louis Foxwell]

OVER THE NET!

[tioga]

Hillary enters the fray
A listening tour for a day
And no one can talk to the bitch
It's just a little campaign glitch
No badinage to lighten the way.

[Louis Foxwell]

This is a worthy award. The lipstick pig award is only given to those whose minds are so twisted they come out of the tunnel backwards and upside down. There is massive humor in misconstruing words fo their laugh effect.

[Louis Foxwell]

I like the "I'm With Stupid" written on the arrow. Superb poem. Here's your award.

[hobbes1]

Good choice.

It has ever been the coin of this realm.

[tioga]

MY summary of the two symbols = “Vote for Hillary, Obama’s HO”. I am twisted, I know. LOL

[hobbes1]

Except she can’t keep him on the porch, now can she?

[tioga]

OH, welcome to the newest limerick writer! Good one.

[Louis Foxwell]

I really like the combo of the two campaign symbols.
