Obama’s political career was based on one thing only - to get elected. As an “oreo” from Hahvahd, he sat in Trinity, not because he believed in KKK Wright, but to gain Street Cred. He was against OIF, not on principle but for more street cred. Thank God for the political inertia that will pull Obama toward the center.
Now that alan is gone, I can actually not have to mute the show.
Check!
Im worried, because if [Obama] wins, black people are going to have to come up with another excuse. You cant blame the man when you are the man. - Wanda Sykes, 2008
No. It is illegal. They catch people every now and again. If they get greedy and start pumping out truck loads, they will get busted.
I will be rushing home tonight to get my dose of TGO!

DO we have to report last years stimulus check on our taxes?
I haven’t even ventured over to DUmmie land today. Waiting for a freeper equipped with full, bio-suit to do that.
Oh, that’s horrible. Simply horrible. You forgot the ellipsis. You...must...pause...or...it...ain’t...a..........poem. ;)
Pause more, Rushie.
BTW Rush's 2112 is an appropriate song for today.
A far cry from the poet at JFK’s inaugural - Robert Frost.
Code Pink got to sit up front at the inaguration:

What the silly poet is trying to say is that we are all part of our ancestors, and have responsibility for our ancestry. She is saying that no cultural background is better than another and that it is time for the white man to accept that.
This is just a milder version of the Lowry, complaint.
When he started his speech, I realized just how old and feeble he was, and it probably was a great moment for him, but instead of a prayer we got ?
Can someone please post, as soon as possible, Rush’s version of the “poem”? I haven’t laughed that hard in days and I need to share it.
Thanks!
