Al Gore was selling Lincoln's Fireside Chat videos...

Aha! Caught you!

Everybody knows that Lincoln only spoke on radio. He believed he was too homely for TV.

*Everybody knows that Lincoln only spoke on radio. He believed he was too homely for TV. *

But Algore said that he transferred them from the original kinescopes.
You don't suppose he lied, do you?!

He may have transferred the sound from acetate disks, but not images from kinescope. Al must have been telling a little fib.

Why is it that every time one of the libtards discovers another “human right”, it costs me money?

I dunno. If it’s a human right to get somebody else to pay a doctor to snip off yer danglers I suppose Facebook can’t be far behind. I just can’t keep up these days.

Martin O’Malley is so far to the left he makes Terry McAuliffe look like Barry Goldwater.

Okay. Maybe that was a slight exaggeration...

No, it isn't.

I, unfortunately, live in Maryland. It's true about Marty Owe'Malley - The Teflon Leprechaun. And do you know what is worse? There's millions just like him who live here and continue to vote the for the same left-wing idiots again and again.

If Marxist O’Malley is correct, that WI-FI is a “human right”, then the bastard can pay my Comcast bill, and yours’ too.

Anyone want to bet that he does?

And his Lt. Gov. Browne is just as left and just as dumb, if not dumber.

Welcome to Marxist Maryland, the home of very high taxes, corruption, a leftist pathological mentality, and business/people flight to Virginia.

I think a more important human right is the right to engage in sex, one of nature’s most powerful urges.

So the government should provide ‘comfort people’ free of charge to anyone who is not getting enough sex. And further should cater to the particular types of sex that the recipient desires as part of his human rights.

Oh, I know that some prudes and non-progressive people will carp and complain about the morality and even the mechanics of this program. [necrophiliacs would have to agree to frequent replacements of their ‘comfort people’, but what the hay, gettin’ some is better than none at all, eh?]

For my own choice, I hope the line waiting for two twenty-year-olds isn’t too long. I’m waaaay behind in getting my human rights bonus.

Not much of one.

Only Doug Gansler or Peter Franchot could be worse...
