    PRESIDENT BUSH’S Twitter messages offically named “Twits” in his honor.

    “I’m speechified” , the Prez replied.

    You do remember last year during the campaign when WEBlog poster “Franklin” had the Obama family tree broken down into percentages of this and that, don’t you? Kinda proves no headline could be more dubious or utterly phony than what a poster has already brought as their facts.

    Linda,
    Who could forget the inimitable snarl of “Franklin” Rossell, our resident insurance scammer, phony genealogist and blatant racist? Any idea what nic he’s currently hiding under?

    “lindainks55″

    As I recall, “Franklin” “PROVED” to us President Obama is precisely “44% Arab.”

    No wonder he changed his nym.

    All the “libruhls” I’ve known over the years here on WE Blog are pretty much who they ever were; you, me, “ksfarmgrrl,” “political_mama,” …even “BlueJay” came out and admitted early on he’d had to re-register a nym. “okobserver,” instead, changed from “ksgrm” to her present persona but not after claiming for weeks she was a “new poster to this blog.”

    What the hell are they trying to hide?

    I miss the days of “MaxGrobnik” and “Econ101″ and whomever “JimJohnson” used to be.

    As always, “Monkeyhawk.”

    I agree with most that Politico posts with the same style and substance. If nothing else he and this newer poster, Politico, would probably find agreement on most topics.

    O’BAMA WINS NOBEL PHYSICS, BIOLOGY AND TAKES IN PULITZER PRIZE AWARDS – In an expected announcement (from the MSM) B. H. O’BAMA wins the aforementioned awards. Spokesmen from the respective department said, “Qualifications, deeds? O’BAMA doesn’t need qualifications or deeds he’s was a community organizer.”

    “Well I’m the cow on the tracks,” Steele responded, as his interviewer laughed. “You’re gonna have to stop the train to get this cow off the track to move forward.”
    =================================================
    Steele, in a move to further distance himself from any semblance of reality, has agreed to dress himself as cow in drag, and position himself on the nearest railroad track.

    Snidely Whiplash has stated he will refuse to tie him up, saying, “Even for a guy as evil as me, I refuse to do cows in drag.”

    Duddly Do-Right, in a separate interview, said, “I’m retired.”

    Nell Fenwick said, “Oh He’s so cute! Can I milk him?”

    Transportation officials have stated the terrorist alert levels will not be raised, as trains have cow catchers on the front in order to keep the tracks clear.

    OBAMA WINS INDY 500 WITHOUT STEPPING FOOT INTO A CAR!!!

    A humbled Obama accepted the win and proclaimed, “I will earn this award by learning how to drive within 5 years!”

    In other news, the entire Andretti family committed suicide.

    Michael Steele doesn’t understand: It takes about two miles to stop a train, so nothing with four legs and hooves is a particularly effective train stopper, really.

    Does he know cows are females? Will the party of old white men take him to task (again!)?

    In a defiant show to the IOC, Obama wins a Gold Medal in Rio, in 2016.

    The event:

    The Limbo

    Obama was able to go down faster and lower then anyone in history, and broke the world record for this event.

    “People Magazine award “sexiest man alive” to a souix falls 7th grader.
    “We are pretty sure, he is going to be a sexy man” stated sources close to the award…”

    No doubt nominated by the sixth-grade daughter of a senior editor of the mag.

    In fact, “Regular” –

    The term “cowboy” is a Hollywood invention.

    Back in the day, the gentlemen who escorted bovines to Kansas rail heads called themselves “drovers.”

    Learn how to snark, “Regular.” Your game is weak today.
