I can’t BELIEVE it!

When she gets the form letter he didn’t even sign after the death of her son she will turn on him. Hopefully, it doesn’t happen. Not wishing that on her sons bc she is a fool.

Tiger, didn't you live in Montclair in the past? since your oldest is starting HS this year, let's hope he doesn't encounter any of these predatory teachers, be they innocent or guilty.... and HD, sweetie, i haven't checked the thread for you input, but it's undoubtedly there....

[tioga]

you need to give a warning on that one. as someone noted on the thread, not possibly his belt, too small to fit around his waist.

[xsmommy]

no maybe he just forgot to put the belt in his luggage after taking it off for TSA so he just looped it around his neck. right??? ; )

[xsmommy]

someone postulating that it was perhaps “medicinal” was pretty funny...

[left that other site]

WHATEVER! (LOL!)

[mikrofon]

While Obama basks in his vainglory,
The economy is still the main story.
Once this Socialist boor
Gets thrown out the door,
That will go far to ease the pain for me.

[NeoCaveman]

Oh WOW! Well Said!

It's not original. I saw it on twitter last night.

Excellent! From your limerick to God's ear.

[xsmommy]

HA! i am thinking that's why our neighbor had taken down his Romney sign from the yard and had it on the porch. I noticed his daughter was visiting and she has a RON PAUL bumpersticker on her car. She just graduated this year from UVA, she was a year behind xsteen at Visitation. I bet she made her dad take it down because she's a raging nutball Paulbot!

[NeoCaveman]

The Paulies are more than a bit delusional, not unlike the guys you find fighting wars years after they are over.

I’d bet the LP will not violate all its bylaws to move RP onto the ballot.

OK, now that I have said it, watch me be wrong.

[theDentist]

ODama revels in his vainglory so much he should be used as an example to school-children: “THIS is not how to act.”

[secret garden]

A fine example of vainglory, with 5,000 delegates and 15,000 members of the fawning media. They are going to break their arms, patting their own backs this week.

I chose today’s word with Obama and his DNC sycophants in mind.

Debussy’s “Afternoon of a Fawn” comes to mind.

This is my favorite post today.

Vainglory

Writing to you from the Deepcut Memorial School of Roto-Rooting and Ticker Repair, we’re ready to explain without the use of completed sentences or thought everything about vainglory. Not morning glory.

Vainglory is the name of an ancient remedy concocted here in the basement of the school for removing blockage from the archeries of the heart.
An does it work! Judge Lampert passed away and had an auto-topsy done and his vains were clean as a new well pipe.

Now that’s Vainglory and it only took the Judge one dose to do the job.

If you need more help with these two cylinder words just visit the paper.

ROR!
