Somewhere, a team is digging hard to find a way to blame republicans for this mess.

Now that's the hard truth!

Not as slick as Clinton but not as, uh, “white” either - speaking in just the generic sense, of course... /s

Somebody posted yesterday that if he wasn't he should shave his head and get a decent toupe.

Methinks a more appropriate moniker would be Biraq /s

So, not being versed in jihadi languages,

what’s the difference between Biraq and Buraq?

I prefer the look/feel of the latter.

Too obscure for your average Buraq supporter - they probably haven’t heard anything about that story.

My problem is pronouncing “Buraq” such that the person I’m talking to understands I’m making a Muslim reference.

Perhaps if I said it like “Buh RACCKKCH”.

It must be, and a very bad one.
