The beggar washed my winshield with a muddy rag. I hit him with the door when the donkey got out of the road.

Rick Perry, the Governor of Texas probably needs a potation right about now because of the dumocrats in the legislature planning to bolt over re-districting again. Sore loosers, I hope every last one is detained if they try to leave again. Maybe they need some cheese to go with their whine?

ONJ hasn't done anything worthwhile since she went disco...

many a decent singer went bad when they went disco...
