TGIF - Lucky Me
posted by TheDon
I can now publicly reveal that I had sex with Jamie Lynn Spears. Of course it wasn't on the same day, in the same city, or with each other, but I am invoking the Romney Saw to justify my assertion. I also saw my father single-handedly beating the Nazis, but that's a story for another post.
It just kills me that Al Gore is still mocked to this day for things that he never said. References to "Al Gore invented the internet" are guaranteed to bring chuckles, despite the fact that he never even implied any such thing. Al Gore is a braggart. Al Gore is a liar. These memes are part of our national folklore, and for no reason except the cynical repetition of a series of lies about him. Lies repeated on hate radio, in national newspapers, on evening talk shows and on national news programs.
On the other hand, Romney and Giuliani can engage in a series of lies and exaggerations, each lie knocked down with air-tight evidence, usually with video of the candidate himself, and neither one has his honesty questioned in a serious way. Each story dies an early death, laughed off as unimportant. This morning, Joey Scar, after a story on Romney's latest lie, said this, "If that's all you've got on Mitt Romney, he's in pretty good shape." Yes, Joe, all we have is that Romney will say anything, invent important events in his life, and change any political positions, just to be elected POTUS. I am only half-kidding when I say that I expect Romney to convert to Evangelical Christianity any day now.
But it's Friday, the end of the week, and most of us are off for the holidays. From my family to yours, have a happy holiday if, in fact, you celebrate any holiday at all. And knock back a drink in honor of my new relationship.
Blushing Teenage Virgin
Mix equal parts pomegranate juice and coconut rum over ice. Splash on some chocolate liqueur and it will taste a lot like a chocolate covered cherry. Come to think of it, that's probably a much more appropriate name for the drink.

Merry Christmas, Ted, TheDon, and all the rest. Thanks for providing a touch of sanity.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It is my pleasure.
ReplyDeleteLove the "Blushing Teenage Virgin" recipe, many thanks. She won't be one for long after a few of these.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work, spelling out what freedom means to the vast wasteland of Americans too lazy and ignorant to bother with it themselves.
