I’m …”
Hillbilly will come in shortly to comment. It’s his favourite subject.
@Coffee Steve

Listening to Gov. John Kasich, I have to wonder does the truth even matter?
Trust none of what you hear and less of what you see.

@Jeff
“@I am not a fan of some of Synder’s policies(mainly the emergency manager one) but I least give him credit”
The emergency manager legislation was enacted under Granholm.
You want to see major ‘untruth’ ?

Rev Al, Ed, Rachel, ‘bald guy’ and ‘IT’….
@UpAndOver and Applestinx

And Get this, I have been checking some tropical weather data, a couple of the future computer models show a possible major hurricane next week on the East Coast, maybe Wednesday or Thursday… Right now only a 15% chance
@Applestinx & UpAndOver

What the hell is Santorum talking about? Assault on marriage and the American family? Is it the government’s fault that 50% of marriages end up in divorce?
Does Newt Gingrinch blame the government for his two divorces?
Trust NONE of what you HEAR and LESS of what you SEE.
MAGIC.
Santorum is a dick. That is what is pretty obvious.
Trust NONE of what you HEAR and LESS of what you SEE.

Santorum is a flatout lier. I want him to name names. Name the names of the doctors who told him that Bella’s life was not worth living.
He’s a lier.
Trust NONE of what you HEAR and LESS of what you SEE.

I used to cover all these guys on both sides, I learned years ago to watch their eyes instead of their mouth, if they blinked fast they were dreaming it up as they went along, and you don’t want to know how many set speed records with their eyes
Boss ,all you’re doing is showing you’re a bigger “DICK” Also a “big ” bore with your “Trust NONE of what you HEAR and LESS of what you SEE.
MAGIC.”
Well my kid has to finish her Kennedy report, so catch you later

Hey Boss,
You are right, lots of fluff, but I am sure there will be more of the same next week.
