How do the gormless rise to power? I'm guessing it is the mob ties.

Alternate meaning: Gormless The absence of Gorm, first King of the Danes (C936AD)



Old Gorm is dead and gone,
Left me here to sing his song,
Pretty little girl with the red dress on,
Old Gorm is dead and gone.

Are goats less gormless than Obambi....?

It is easier to teach goats to surf than for Obambi to understand how a lemonade stand works....

Here are the ungormless goats surfing ....

Wow, he is articulate and awesome! We await the naming of our new Bishop, the liberal Bishop Clark is retiring. Clark got reprimanded by the Pope for allowing and attending same sex ceremonies being done by a Catholic priest in the diocese. That was many, many years ago now. I am hoping for someone like this Archbishop. A breath of fresh air is much needed in our happy slappy community.

Gormless and rude, our president. video with his public rudeness......shows how arrogant he is, when he speaks you better listen...reminds me of when he stalked off while Gov Jan Brewer was chastising him.

Well you can't be too careful these days and it is a very serious charge.
