Debbie Mucarsel-Powell is favorite to win Dem primary in August. Sen. Rick Scott is polling well ahead in the anticipated general election matchup.

They're probably trying to find the secret base on the dark side of the Moon where the Nazis left all their flying saucers.

I usually like schlock flicks but Iron Sky was just blaahh....boring. Didn’t finish it. Plan9 was a masterpiece in comparison.

And the most embarrassing of all, our POTUS and VPOTUS.

No, no, no, no. Completely and comprehensively wrong. Our is a representative democracy, doncha know? Accordingly, the "most embarrassing of all" are the American voters.
