When women are pregnant they usually have boobs.

I think it is down there at the end of her hand.

[Right_in_Virginia]

she’s preggers. That is the major way that the administration is going to control the news over the next year.

Nah, she's not preggers. (Although I do love the rumor ...because she's just got a big gut) ;^D

I will stick with TAPS.....

I watch some of Glen Beck and Special Report when I get home from work. Wednesday evening it's all TAPS. Love that show. To get away from the depressing Obama 24/7 coverage I've even learned to like Say Yes To The Dress.

Been very busy it was dad’s birthday last week I will post a few photos of him and his cake later this week on facebook.

Which goes to show that she obviously does not listen to advice as no doubt she would have the services of a personnel dresser/clothes adviser.

Another example of the arrogance of this couple.

Have you seen Paranormal State with the people from Penn State? Came on last night. Love that show, too. I have not watched any news for years but do keep the local stations on when we have storm watches or warnings.
