I have a Tarjay knockoff in red and a J.C. Penney’s knockoff in green. Neither of them cost $1,000, lol.

Watch for Zer0 to claim at his next presser that he’s saved or created 50,000 jobs in the purse industry.

It always amazes me how SOCIALISTS have a liking for expensive items. I nearly forgot, it is OK for SOCIALISTS to drink Champagne and eat Caviar while lecturing us on how greedy and selfish we non-socialist are.

Some of the wealthiest neighborhoods in America, such as the Upper East Side of Manhattan, Gold Coast of Chicago, Beverly Hills, etc. are also strongly Democrat, politically speaking. Who knew?????

I’ve no doubt that this is important news to disaster survivors in Japan who follow the First Wookie’s fashion moves with rapt attention.

Sad to say I don’t have any boob belts or tacky fake flowers pinned to my shoulder. I used to have a hula hoop way back when. Does that count?

One thing about Marxist-Leninists :

Socialism is never for them, just the under-class.

I think most of us knew. A hunting friend laments that his Ivy League son-in-law turned his once down-to-earth daughter into another entitled “Housewife of...”

We’re doing our best to “pollute” the grandson’s mind with all things related to firearms and hunting. So far, it’s working; a while back he chose a duck-hunting trip with Grandpa over his cousin’s recital at Carnegie Hall in NYC. However, we worry about academia ruining him.

Give yourself more credit! I bet you have a cardigan sweater a size or two too small. You are an icon just waiting to happen.

That frightens me. It means there is a large group of morons out there who are even brain dead than the imbiciles who elected Obozo. I just hope most of them don’t live here or we’re in deep chit come 2012.
