Obama's full of braggadocchio
But shares so much more with Pinocchio:
A small boy of wood,
Never does what he should;
A known liar from Moscow to Tokyo.

Okay, so the last episode of BB is labeled FeLiNa, which can be an anagram of Finale or chemical symbols for blood, meth, and tears. Discuss amongst yourselves...

No idea, my kiddo sent me a text of it, asking me to post it to the class. I still don’t care for the show and am being shamed into watching it by both her and Jonah now.

Quit watching him and Hannity a couple of years back. O’Reilly never seems to have a position on anything, other than when a child is involved and Hannity is like listening to a parrot...repeat, repeat, repeat!
