How Do You Spell "Thug?"

How Do You Spell "Thug?"

Stolen from Google

Since Google shows a rampant leftist bias, I thought I'd revamp the ad from "O's" 2012 campaign.  This is the actual spot, according to Fox News, with only minor alterations:
Also, please note that as much as I wanted to, I did not ask "Is IT in?" (in honor of Anthony Weiner).

More Global Warming Data

Today, June 16th 2011, merely five days before the "summer solstice," and for the first time in any June that I can remember in my 20+ years in this house, the furnace kicked on at approximately 1:30 in the afternoon.  The thermostat is set at 69 degrees, and no doors nor windows were open.
Al, did you lie to us?  Al, tell me the truth, now:  you did lie, didn't you?  Al, NOAA and NASA data indicates a COOLING trend over the past 4 or 5 years....fess up, Al.  You did it for the money, didn't you?  The "carbon credits exchange" is just another get-rich scheme, isn't it?  Just like the "cap and trade" legislation is just another way to "spread the wealth around," right, Al?
Shame, shame, Al.  Remember, "Cheetahs never prosper."  Shame, shame on you.

HOPE YOU LIKE THE CHANGE

After two years of Obama ... Here's your change!

Just take this last item: In the last two years we have accumulated national debt at a rate more than 27 times as fast as during the rest of our entire nation's history.
Over 27 times as fast. Metaphorically speaking, if you are driving in the right lane doing 65 MPH and a car rockets past you in the left lane.
27 times faster, it would be doing 7,555 MPH!
