Offensive linemen for the Miami Dolphins may be incognito to hide from the press, which has been relentlessly pursuing charges of bullying and racism.

My dog bit me on the leg today.
My cat clawed my eyes.
Ma’s been thrown out of the social circle,
And dad has to hide.
I went to church incognito.
When everybody rose, the Reverend Smith,
He recognized me,
And punched me in the nose.

It need not even be said (but I will for the record). We have a prez about whom nothing is known. He is the invisible man with no origin, no context and no documentation. His passions, parentage, citizenship, education, voting record, everything about him is unknown. We only know he seeks our destruction as a nation and as a people. What manner of electorate selects Mr. Incognito as their leader?

What manner of electorate selects Mr. Incognito as their leader?

Low-information voters, people suffering from White Guilt even though slavery ended six generations ago, "educators" who benefit from pro-union policies, and people, including dead people, who voted numerous times.

By the way, I echo the sentiment in your tagline. Sultan Knish is a must read.

OUTcognito must refer to those who are admittedly playing for the other team, i.e., Jason Collins, Michael Sam.

(Assume Jerry Seinfeld Voice:) Not that there's anything wrong with it.

Very nice pic!

Is that a screen shot from Sarah Palin’s new TV show?
