Maybe Madmood Imadinnerjacket and Kim Shlong Ill shared too much time with each other.
I thought so.
I’m just a spectator. An armchair quarterback if you will. But it occurs to me that when one starts up a game of Holier Than Thou, it’s best not to tag along a forfeiting line.
Ah...he’s doing the “Saddam Wave” in that one. Or is it the “Standard Dictator Wave?”
Yeah, Christians will understand God's judgment on this POS will be far worse than anything a Christian can say or do.
