It would be nice if Obama was just a sprat in history, but alas, he has fundamentally been changing America into his personal idea of utopia. Doesn't stop the crazy from thinking he's stalking them though. Sad.

Obama the sprat could eat no pork fat,
His wife was not lean
So between them both, you see.
They are petulant, small and mean.

Are you reading the same novel I am, cause that actually fits into my book. I see it is a political race. Hmm, interesting.

They are making a grotesque political miscalculation, based on the Clinton/Newt issue.

In this case, its already being reported that the House is passing funding bills, Reid wont vote, and Present wont sign.

Clinton, made his bones acting like a moderate. Obama has not.

Nicely done! I was going to try something akin to that, but yours is better than anything I could come up with.

sprat — the sound an egg makes when it hits the sidewalk after being dropped from a 20-storey office building in Tokyo.

My sympathies on your knee, and hence shots. Had 'em for years when I played hockey (hip, not knee, but same idea naturally).

xsmommy is right, though: think about how good you'll feel!

Ouch! Let me know if it works. My “good” knee is giving me trouble, but I’m not ready to have it replaced. I’m still suffering pains and pangs in my surgical knee and I cn’t face having BOTH knees compromised.
