I have a FB friend who is a rabid birther and Obamally deranged and whom I've known since I was three years old, the longest I've known anyone on this earth, and whom I haven't actually seen in fifty years. Luckily she's not very prolific. I can't bear to drop her, and I think someone had a talk with her because lately she's just been posting the "photo of the day" which I never go to. I've dropped other righties.
My brother suggested I may like this blog.
He was once totally right. This publish truly made my day.
You cann't consider simply how so much time I had spent for this information! Thank you!
