#1  Video Game : Shoot Meteors & Strip : Severina Vuckovic As Spook Gal-Ore

#2  Is it just me, or does anyone else suddenly want to hum or sing the song "SPOOKY" to themselves???

Hannan: Commonwealth overtakes the EU

#1  Considering the much of the Commonweath is African and Caribbean, this is a real slap at Europe.

#2  Canada, Australia and Singapore probably have a higher GDP than all the rest!

Has Barack Obama's ego endangered lives?

#1  Everyone knows that Obama has been surprisingly tough on national security.

Lots of tough love.

#2  No more than any other megalomaniac.
Posted by: DarthVader || 06/07/2012 13:45 Comments || Top||

#3  Yes, as well as sources and methods. Next question.

#4  If everyone realizes that everything he does is all about The One. The donks better realize this also. He is not the man for this job.

#5  It's kinda like when we broke the Imperial Japanese Naval Code in WWII and Roosevelt called up Tojo on the phone and said, "You've been punked, suckers!"

#6  I wonder what this guy will do after his one term is over.

I wonder if he would have gotten that security clearance if his leftist connections had been known, or if the guy elected president just gets one automagically.

I really don't know if I want him out walking around with the information he knows rattling around inside his head, just itching to get out.

WaPo columnist Lane: "Democracy wins in Wisconsin"

#1  this is in the on line WaPo, not the paper one.
Posted by: Lord Garth || 06/07/2012 10:18 Comments || Top||

#2  "One man, one vote, one time," and "do over" are kissing cousins. The union types can't get the first one (yet) in America, and the second one is not helping their cause.

The left is terrified of elections they can't rig...

#3  As the former Wisconsin Senator Russ Feingold (D-Socialist) said at the anti-Walker rallies last year, "It's not over until we win!"
Posted by: Mullah Richard || 06/07/2012 11:48 Comments || Top||

#4  A Minnesota corollary to "It's not over until we win!" is "Keep counting until you win."
