There will be a handshake tonight. We’re just not sure who will be shaking hands with whom.

[secret garden]

I predict some face washing prior to the handshakes.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

On late night, each joking farceur
Has a target with Barry, for sure
While Leno and Fallon
Used all of their talent
Letterman stays liberal pure

[Diogenesis]

The farceur (Impostor) has made a farce of American Law,
Justice, economy, medicine, innovation and entrepreneurship,
but none of this is laughingly farcical because Obama
has defiantly created a real vale of PAIN for Americans ranging
from al Qaeda in their midst with weapons supplied by Holder and Clinton
to shift-changing absence of future good medical care.

[Travis T. OJustice]

bath house barry hussein, the farcical farceur and another word I can’t spell out that starts with ‘f’.

Man, I don’t normally like sweets, but I just had a really freakin good cheese danish.

Bruins over the Ranger in 5.

[SoothingDave]

They could probably win in 4 if they only play a single Ranger.

There is the matter of game 7’s to be played, of course.

[tioga]

A farceur extraordinaire, Ann Coulter mocks the MO.

[xsmommy]

that pic of Mo just enrages me. that facial expression makes my head explode.

[tioga]

Georgetown University has caught the eye of the Vatican. More to come.

[xsmommy]

the Farceur.

[xsmommy]

saw and read that to xshub last night. good.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Bruins over the Ranger in 5.

They could probably win in 4 if they only play a single Ranger.

Lundqvist could probably steal a game or 2.

I was talking to my friend, the black obama-voting paralegal. she is by and large conservative, a devout Christian, and we were talking about the Michael Sam thing and i said it's going to be illegal to be Christian in this country before long. She said in many ways it is now, while not illegal, definitely frowned upon. She has a 5-6 yo granddaughter. The grandbaby's mom and a friend of her's were talking about a work situation between two women, the one is charging sexual harassment claiming the supervisor "wants" her. Betty said that her daughter and the friend were on a diff floor and whispering about this situation. But Betty was driving the little girl somewhere and she said Grandma, when i grow up i'm going to marry a girl... Betty said she nearly drove off the road. Betty said, oh no, you will be friends with them, and then went into the whole man-woman marriage deal etc. She called her daughter- the child's mother-- who was horrified and said, where is she getting this??? and she spoke to her other daughter, who was equally horrified. This is the real life consequence of this situation. Little kids walking into the room to see the kiss, who are not getting any explanation from their parents, and being brainwashed at every turn that this is perfectly fine. For some reason i clicked on Patrick Burke's twitter feed last night and was reading it. He was disgusted with parents asking WHAT TO TELL MY KIDs, when they see/ask about the michael sam kiss, his retort was tell them it's two people who care about each other, You're welcome, parents. As if it was as easy as that. Christian opposition to same sex relationships is now a Scary times.

[xsmommy]

heard Barry’s name mentioned as someone the Caps are interested in, on the radio this AM. Also saw on twitter last night three names as potential interests for GM, which horrified xshub and i in the extreme: fired loser coaches from Buffalo, Vancouver and Calgary. WHY in God’s name you would want a fired loser from franchises who have not been in playoff contention etc for eons, i have no idea. The twitter comments were hysterical, xshub was nearly peeing himself reading them aloud to me “what, bozo the clown isn’t available?”

[tioga]

Prayers for that innocent little girl that she becomes a Christian and straight.

[tioga]

and what is with the NFL? they will be playing TOUCH football soon. bunch of girly men.

[xsmommy]

I guess #66 didn't see Sid's actions during game 6 the same as you, soother.....

[tioga]

so the black mass moved across the street and they used an unconsecrated host. kind of anticlimactic.
