Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Here is my example with today's WFTD.

In his column today, John Stossel calls out the media popinjays who prance around like ditzy cheerleaders for Zero's agenda.

Going to Fox II

No pushing at the door please!

Happy Humpday Everybody!

Only days left until BO's replacement is sworn in.


Kenyon Coleman sent his Cowboy "throwback" jersey to class as a subtle reminder that there are:
Only days until Christmas!

Popinjay is also the term used for a small archery target placed high in the air (usually on a church steeple.)

I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth I know not where.

(Sounds hazardous to me)

The First Popinjay says it is racist to criticize him,
or to fail to bend down before him.

Popinjays are pretty, but pinyon jays are prettier.

Dr. Walter E. Williams is the anti - popinjay. He has a good review of capitalism here.

Obama, on stage, a popinjay
Is he POTUS or TOTUS? Who’ll say?
Well, if the power goes off
He’ll just stammer and cough
Spout the left’s talking point of the day

The diversity popinjay needs to be the next one exposed. He's the one that extols that wonderful revolution down in Venezuela.

A late night host one day
Had a boxer on, okay?
They feinted and sparred
And when the host got tired
The boxer ended it poppin' Jay.

I know Leno is no longer a late night host, but had to make the rhymes work so give me a little slack.

Yes, but who will listen? Certainly not those who need to.

Robert, are you in SCUBA gear down there? Please check in so we know you are not underwater.

The archbishop said that, while "we must speak the truth in charity," Catholics also "should have the courage to look truth in the eye and call things by their common names."
"It is not possible to be a practicing Catholic and to conduct oneself in this manner," he told the crowd of about 200 guests.

It is about time someone with authority said that in the Public domain.
