Brought to you by the same guy who was worried Guam might tip over....

Imagine a world without ballons

Dead Red Ted Kennedy wouldn’t allow windmills on Martha’s Vineyard.

North Korean kids will be able to have balloons at their birthdays. Not American kids.

Liberals are mentally ill, not in touch with reality.

Having had much experience with this state, I was inspired to create this bumper sticker: Feel free to distribute and print...:)

Something similar to what Anthony Bourdain said after a day of fun with Ted Nugent.

LOL, just to be clear, I am in no way saying I made up this saying or sentiment...only the putting it on a graphic that looks like a bumper sticker!

I have no idea who voiced that sentiment, but boy, did I get a kick out of it when I heard it.

Reminded me of that famous Mencken quote: “Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.”

With all this stuff going on, I guess we have to try to find humor where we can.

I should say I don’t mean to impart humor on the issue of this woman’s death, but...I guess we start out on A -> A, then B, then G, next thing I know, we are talking about skydiving in the Andes on a thread about a woman killed by her dogs.

Hahaha...we need someone who can take the video from the dodgeball movie, put Trump’s head on it, and having it wing the ball off of Hillary making her fall into the plane or the car...
