Well, I certainly don’t approve of what they did but you know, Republicans are always saying they want immigrants to really embrace the American way of life.

This was my motto during Thanksgiving.

Thanks for the simple act of listing this under terrorism. The gymnastics people are displaying to avoid that word/ definition of this act staggers my mind.

Like VP Biden said “It’s a big fucking deal.” Indeed it is, Joe.

So you’re telling me that easier access to healthcare is directly being linked to SAVING lives?

Early diagnosis is SO IMPORTANT YOU GUYS.

Hmm... when someone beats me to an obvious joke, I edit mine out. But we posted at the same minute. What to do, what to do... degrey and cool Obama pic? Degrey and cool Obama pic.

“So, your table stopped me and asked what kind of fish they had was because they thought you were lying to them; I told them it was cod and they asked why we didn’t have real fish.”
