CNN, the proud (see Zucker) publisher of bona fide, certified (see O’Keeefe) dreck, is having a tough day. Could not happen to a more deserving clique of schlockmeisters.

A very strange comment, not without merit, in fact, likely of sustantial merit, if only it were comprehensible.

An excellent age to learn new words, and MAD, a most worthy cultural icon, in its time.

Her Thighness is now, and always has been, a piece of
drek!
To: Louis Foxwell

You see? It’s like this:

The Democrat party’s a wreck
A cesspool of socialist dreck

And that’s all that there is
There’s no heir apparent on deck

Quite the poet you are. A nice bit of limerick.
You are entitled to the prestigious limerick award, irregularly awarded.

Dreck is a great word and the essence of most political speeches. But, I’m just here to thank you for giving me “effluvium”.
