I guess those companies really pay 'em well in campaign contributions. Too bad for me and my brother-in-law that BAE Systems didn't appear on that list. Then I could say the Democrats did something positive for me. Guess BAE didn't slip 'em enough money. Oh well. The Dems extend unemployment to five years and I'll get mine as soon as I get my pink slip. The "republicans" will give in to that deal.

D'Oh!!

" it should only be a crime for a teacher to have sex with his students." Unless, of course, the students are male. I think the greater point is the issue of marriage itself. Take God out of the equation, and there goes the ball game.

"If" in one hand, s#*t in the other. Which one is full first?

I don't really think it's our boy Georgie, of course, but one must wonder what the larger truth is. Too much about Obama just doesn't add up.

Actually, though he was a senator for two years, he didn't spend much time at it. It almost seems like a fake diploma- a pre-requisite " job to "do" while he was getting prepped to come out of the blue and become President practically overnight and under our noses. I smell "deal" all over this guy. Wonder who the puppet master is? Could it be...George Soros? Things that make you go hmmm...
