I know what you did last Summer.
How I wish I could estivate at the beach.

Happy Rainy Tuesday!!!!
should make a racy movie about it then.
At least we were spared the snapshot of the two of them dancing on the beach in their swimsuits.

i love your Obams Seuss!
If you remove the “ahhhs,” “uhhhs,” and “ummms,” a 500-word Obama speech actually has only about 23 words.

3 - Why would you comment about how you had to wake up at 4:30 in the morning?
4 - Did you write this speech yourself?

3 of the 5 questions Jax came up with to ask the Pres after reading his speech yesterday. The other 2 questions dealt with why he made so many Harry Potter references.
Direst?
He’s been out of the news lately — I wonder where Sheen’s son Emilio estivated this year?
LOL!!!
Typo on my part. Should be direCt.
Probably with the Miami Sound Machine.
OK. i’m sure there are dire moments as well.
