I buy a solution in a spray bottle to clean wax and “stuff” off of fruit and vegetables- it probably is just vinegar and water!

For those of you who missed last night’s draft, 11 members of the first round selections came from the SEC. WHOOP!

Obama & his policies are purely impedimenta to the health of our economy ... His Socialist programs with their fiscal dementia impact not only its current status, but has ramifications into generations yet to come. His appointees (i.e. cronies) in charge, besides being woefully inept, maimed legitimate investigation into questionable activities by continual obstruction & delaying tactics -- as our GDP in the meantime dips into negative (Recessionary) figures, and we see the Treasury emptied mainly due to their malfeasance.

When did James Lileks start writing for NRO? I like his column today on the impedimenta to monogamy or how Slate writes weird stuff.

[SoothingDave]

Lileks has done a column for the magazine for a long time. Not so much online, but they’re probably using him to fill the Steyn void.

I’m en route to NY for graduation and so can’t post the 15 days until you enter into HOLY MATRIMONY! Someone post a countdown pic!

[SoothingDave]

[xsmommy]

Good one!

Hillary keeps trying to shed the Benghazi impedimenta, but it’s not working.

And quite the void it is.

Ann Coulter was right to call them girlie men a few years back.

[NeoCaveman]

Nice.

Thanks

[SoothingDave]

Unless they are being clever in disassociating themselves from Steyn so he can run the kamikaze campaign he is running on this Mann lawsuit.

Such a fine line between clever and stupid.

I’m on the edge of a big thunderstorm-the temperature dropped about 10 degrees, and it just started raining with small hail mixed in...

The accumulating impedimenta
May be weighing Hillary down-
Adding an unwanted tarnish
To a much-re-polished crown

Since Obama has spat on it,
And had her tied to a tree
She can only parrot his lines
However ridiculous they may be

With Monica surfacing again
Reminding women Bill is a jerk
Even with that Clinton spin
It just may not even work...

[xsmommy]

Stopped dead on 81 just south of ny border, guess they’re confiscating big gulps.

[secret garden]

And e-cigs, and trans fats and guns. Congrats to xsboy! The time flew by.

[xsmommy]

Thanks it is a little hard to believe!

[tioga]

They are coming for your bags....

[tioga]

A+++ I fear it will work.

[tioga]

A++ Seems that the left does not look at the baggage, they will breathlessly pull the lever for Hillary just to have Bill back.

[tioga]

To the groom to be...marriage IS the future. A+++
