Practice makes perfect.....post on....
The first rule of Down Low Club is that you don’t talk about Down Low Club. ;-)
Dead on in both your posts. I do believe a perfect storm is brewing and the forecasters have their heads so far up Obama’s butt they can’t see it. There is a new media....the internet. Folks email news stories back and forth and jokes...all bypassing that filter, the MSM.
i will wait for the true confessions to come spilling forth now... ; )
confession #2! ; )
I don't like to argue with my students, so I'll just agree with you. I'm brilliant. :)
I responded to the freeper who hasn't laughed in two years, and told him/her to come visit us at our daily get together here. There are usually a few laughs, at the very least.
Why, thank you so very much! :-)
Gracias.
hope he comes. we are a fun bunch, if i say so myself : )
how are you feeling? are you better now?
Obama: um, er...ah, I..um, I er...uh...filibuster finally begins sometime after all that.....
He won’t be able to filibuster and drag on like he does at press conferences, arrogantly telling a reporter he can not interrupt theOne. With skipping out to visit Hoover Dam, my gut tells me he is not ready with quick, forthright answers and it will show. Romney at least had live debate practice against his many GOP opponents in the endless primary season.
bc you know he’s too arrogant to think he really NEEDS the practice, he thinks he’s naturally articulate and brilliant.
I was the plaintiff in a lawsuit a few years back, and even though, as was noted earlier, I actually am brilliant, I still studied my notes and went over my deposition testimony ad nauseum, right up until the moment it began. Perhaps having been the beneficiary of affirmative action and other forms of reverse prejudice for his entire life, Barry actually believes his own bullshi!t.
Better, but not best. Probably 50%.
you still home? did you eat the soup?
LOL at truthy’s hubris, but i do believe barry does believe his own BS.
How can you laugh at my hubris when you've never even seen it? It was very popular in summer camp. (I don't think that word means what I think it means.)
Wait. So it has nothing to do with "huge" and "bris?"
hubristic about one’s huge bris, yet???? ; )
The Press gladly carry the One's water representing his policies, e.g. Obamacare is the answer, while private care is bad for future of the nation. They routinely rap creative solutions proffered by Conservatives; thus, you will never hear that, like a pirate craves the treasures of others, Obama wants the wealth of the productive under his concept of "fairness."
A+++
Outstanding!!!!
No, I’m back at work. Missed Monday and Tuesday. I had some ramen noodles.
