Unexpected- DRINK!
I will probably be drunk in the next 5 posts LOL *burp*
UNEXPECTEDLY
lol. Someone should start a drinking game. Every time an economic headline includes the word “unexpectedly.” But where will we find the money for all that booze? And the liver transplant to follow?
More unexpected news!!
Football game won unexpectedly
Sun rises, unexpectedly
grass grew unexpectedly
HEY, SHEEPLE how’s the HOPE&CHANGE coming along?!!! Idiots! Don’t say we didn’t warn you!!

Bush had the lowest unemployment in decades for most of his term.
Yeah, but then I’d have to actually listen to Obama, and I simply can’t do that, drink or no drink. I cancelled my TV service last month.
cancelled mine in August. I use a converter box now. I like the unexpectedly game better, I get that from on here in articles. No listening to TOTUS :)
Obama wins UNEXPECTEDLY in 2008.
Nobody thought a foreign born America loathing Muslim would be elected to lead the free world. But it happened.
