Kruschev!! LOL
the Gord is about to land in mickeyland. We have a few character breakfasts lined up which are sure to occasion bawling fits. There’s a lazy river at the hotel which he will love. Tropical depression Colin has mostly blown through- sun is in and out. Xsboy was here for the weekend and Gord and fam are here the rest of the week.

When democrats demand comity
They’re just planning an attack-
Hoping the opponent will be PC
And not be watching their back...

They call others sexist or racist
In terms both vulgar and crude-
If someone gives them the same
They howl about how that’s rude

Both the Clintons are treacherous
And almost nothing could be worse
Than to ever trust Hillary’s smile-
She always has a knife in her purse

A neighbor of mine has a brindle bullmastiff named Nikita, and that is what she calls him-he is indeed named after the shoe banging, America hating former USSR leader...
