I wouldn’t mind sharing a few tokes of whatever you’re smoking this morning. :)

Loved it. You’re not allowed to fact-check Michelle. That would be racist.
I’m off to see the dentist (not theDentist, but the dentist.) Routine cleaning. Back in an hour.
Well, that is OK. YOU were the first to bring it to MY attention. :-)
You mean Mo didn’t ride around with Barry in a Flintstones car with holes in the floorboards?
Libs eating it up. I just had my lib friend at work come and ask if i’d watched, i said no, i really couldn’t bear it. i asked what she thought and she was moved to tears by Michelle. i guess if you believe her crap it would be moving.
He know. Truthy is a guy.
My response: The man MO described is NOT the Obama who has lead this country for nearly 4 years. The arrogant POS we know is a socialist who is leading us into the hole with trillions of debt. He has LOST American jobs and even sent stimulus $ meant for American jobs to foreign countries. Solyndra and a bunch of green energy jobs money fell into a huge black hole never to be seen again. Our credit rating was downgraded for the first time in history. THAT’s just a little bit of the Obama we know. So, God bless her heart, she means well.
I would but the arms of this jacket seem a little tight this morning and while the people are real friendly here and smile alot even when they don’t have to, finding a drink is harder than finding O-bam’s birthin papers.

I seriously doubt they went dumpster diving to furnish their $277,500 two-bedroom condo they bought. Facts are curious things. Wonder if billyayers wrote that speech like he did dreams of my father?
One town over...
A festival celebrating vainglory
Is the convention in Charlotte-
Every keynote speaker we see
Is a blatant political harlot
A bit of spin here, a big lie there,
The surrogates do what it takes
To make themselves look supportive
Of all the raving lunatics and flakes
From marriage-for-all to freebies
For those who attend this fair-
How about condoms and food stamps
Drifting like balloons in the air?
jersey whores abound...
On the subject of dumpster diving-when I lived in the city, people in the la-de-da neighborhoods used to put out really good stuff for the trash pickup-there was a term among the young and broke for walking around at O-dark-thirty on trash day to gather this stuff-tromping.
I can’t really see Obama or Michelle Antoinette doing that-and neither of them were ever as “poor” as any of us, being the product of the (upper) middle class, especially Obama.

Fabulous! Loved rhyming Charlotte with harlot.
He dug pretty deep, but I don't think he pulled out my testicles.
Another trip down the cosmic bunny hole tonight.
The accused raoist, serial sexual harasser, and perjurer (which I guess gives the need for Sandra Flukes free birth control), is getting time to talk about the recovery he didn’t create, to give cover for the recovery Obama can’t create.
