RE:”That was funny. ;-D”

Thanks, that was my first extranormal vidio,
a tribute to Scott Walker during the confrontation, 2011

Unfortunately extranormal stopped offering that service in 2013 and I been looking for a replacement ever since.

Somebody from DNC Headquarters gave the marching orders.

Considering how quickly Paul Begala tweeted about this matter afterwards, I think this was a well planned and executed event.

Emperor Obama was not pleased with the National Guard deployment, and war has now been declared.

Nothing will top Baldwin’s deranged psycho rant on Conan O’Brien (I think back in 1998 ?) when he said he wanted to have Henry Hyde and his family murdered. Of course, if that had been someone suggesting it of a Democrat, you can guess where they’d have ended up.

I’m not sure yet, but I think the legislature can reorganize this Unit so these political prosecutions can be avoided in the future.

I'd support an emergency special session, just to get to this through quickly. Drunken stupid DA's shouldn't be able to weld this much power.

Still its really is sad when the left thinks their so entitled to spending other people’s money that they should actually sue you if you don’t approve of spending money their way.

Gov. Perry should be indicted for his new thick frame glasses. Ever notice how the so-called cool, trend-setting, hipsters all seem to dress alike (nothing trend setting about that)? Perry with his new glasses looks like he is playing “follow the leader” instead of “lead the followers.”

And just what do the style of his glasses have to do with this story?

He was right to demand her resignation. She either lied to the officer making the arrest or the officers at the jail. She had absolutely no respect for the laws she is supposed to uphold or the system she us in charge of.

Talk about coercion! How many times did she mention she was the district attorney? And not in a nice way. Was this her first offense? Is 45 days the norm? Or was the Judge stressing she is not above the law?
