In this ridiculous country, it’s “class warfare” when working people would like a fair wage and health insurance, but it’s “Morning in America” when the top 1% have harvested nearly every dollar of financial gain in this country for the past 30 years. Corporate taxes have dropped as quickly as CEO salaries and bonuses have risen, and we’re all supposed to “take one for the team” while Wall Street criminals make up new ways to earn billion-dollar bonuses while you get to spend a couple of months arguing with your insurance company (if you’re “lucky enough” to have health care coverage) over whether your kid’s concussion or dad’s cancer is something that might be covered. Mother Jones put together what is possibly the most useful Mother Jones feature ever: A simple collection of visual charts and diagrams to easily explain exactly what the Reagan/Bush/Clinton/Bush Jr./Obama Republican/Democrat governments have done to this country.
Reagan/Bush Sr. tax cuts not big enough for you? (And by “you,” we mean, “the couple of thousand people in America who literally control nearly all wealth in this nation, with our consent.”) Then “you” must have loved the Bush Junior tax cuts, and the Obama extension of said cuts. Why should people who earn twenty-seven million dollars per year have to pay a lot of shitty taxes? That’s for poor folk to cover with their payroll tax deductions, right?
Anyway, go look at these pretty grafs and maybe print ‘em out at the library or whatever, and tape them inside your Tea Party lovin’/McDonaldland relatives’ five-year-old reading glasses from the Walmart. Go Galt! [Mother Jones]

I am not on your team
Tsars/Robber barons
Can't wait to see that Ayn Rand movie about people getting railroaded. Will they be able to put in a CGI Gipper?
Ooooh, see that dark blue line? Yeah…hi.
You're not alone, buncha wonderful people in your position. Me, I actually might be on the top part of the blue/bottom part of the light blue. It's particularly galling to have a job where you help give out aid, but you make *just* a bit too much.
But you have access to post on the tubez. Yay for prosperous Murikan poverty!
ha, I'm in the 3rd 20%, losers…wait a minute, that ain't so good either
Pfftt… Glenn Beck has more colors of chalk than you do.
I want to hear what the Wonkbot thinks before getting all worked up.
Wonkbot's in maximum security lockup at Pelican Bay, didn't you hear?
Uh-oh. Wonkbot tried to hack Lou Sarah's FB account, didn't he??
I hadn't even heard of this website until I saw some links about Sarah Palin and Facebook on google news today.
We made Google News?
They like us, they really like us!
Yeah, google agreed to put our shit there in exchange for sending intern riley to their sex dungeon for five days. we were able to offer a week!
Until you get the lines in one of those pretty charts to manifest the face of Reagan himself, they're just going to be preaching to the choir.

"What the hell is these reds, anyway?"
Timothy scraped a little hill level in the bottom of the ditch. The sun made his white bristle beard shine. "They's a lot a fellas wanta know what reds is." He laughed. "One of our boys foun' out." He patted the piled earth gently with his shovel. "Fella named Hines–got 'bout thirty thousan' acres, peaches and grapes–got a cannery an' a winery. Well, he's all a time talkin' about 'them goddamn reds.' 'Goddamn reds is drivin' the country to ruin,' he says, an' 'We got to drive these here red bastards out.' Well, they were a young fella jus' come out west here, an' he's listenin' one day. He kinda scratched his head an' he says, 'Mr. Hines, I ain't been here long. What is these goddamn reds?' Well, sir, Hines says, 'A red is any son-of-a-bitch that wants thirty cents an hour when we're payin' twenty-five!' Well, this young fella he thinks about her, an' he scratches his head, an' he says, 'Well, Jesus, Mr. Hines. I ain't a son-of-a-bitch, but if that's what a red is–why, I want thirty cents an hour. Ever'body does. Hell, Mr. Hines, we're all reds.'" Timothy drove his shovel along the ditch bottom, and the solid earth shone where the shovel cut it.
Tom laughed. "Me too, I guess."
fucking WIN o' the day!
But, you know, it is almost impossible to raise taxes on the rich because the cost of living is so different in certain areas of the country.
Imagine how poor all these people are since they live in Manhattan, Monte Carlo, Palm Springs, Hollywood, Aspen, et al.
Now I feel bad. Wait a second … I found 30 cents, where can I send the money? I want to help out.
Real 'Merkuns spent entire savings on Palin's first book. No Ameros left to buy the 2d.
First you ass fuck me wth no lube and then you post a chart of it!?!?? What the fuck is wrong with you? Don't you have any compassion?
The next chart will be greasy.
Santorum!
compassion is fer libruls, poor libruls (don't worry cuz the 'meek shall inherit the earth', or some such bullshit…hell I can't remember everthing I said?!)
shit, those graphs are looking pretty good! We're the red line, right?
weeeell, maybe not
anyone miss Jimmy Carter ?
he's still available for another term btw
Jimmy Carter started it! Airline, truck, railroad, energy etc. deregulation was the start, under him. But he didn't declare any wars.
Peanuts, by comparison.
But also, the opening salvo, yes. & all because Mc Govern couldn't overcome Nixon's inherent "advantages". The DLC had to be born… Take the organizing might of the Baby Boomer Left coupled to the sellout of same. (As in the Boomers were selling out, first among them Bill Clinton — & his nemesis
"Anonymous"Joe Klein.)shhh, he's re-shingling my roof.
This just confirms what most of us knew all along; that Reagan ruined everything, wnd W. and the current GOP congress and union-busting state legislatures have just been trying to complete his destructive legacy and turn the US into a feudal aristocracy.
And The Onion actually had a very apropos article just yesterday:
http://www.theonion.com/articles/embarrassed-repu...
Embarrassed Republicans Admit They've Been Thinking Of Eisenhower Whole Time They've Been Praising Reagan
'"We deeply regret misattributing such a distinguished and patriotic legacy to Mr. Reagan," Priebus added. "We really screwed up." …if only they did
In the live-action 3D version, Reagan's shining city is built at the top of that one percent line, and the rest of us are standing at the bottom with the 99 percenters, ankle-to-knee deep in the shit-polluted runoff.
I believe that's called "trickle-down."
One of my sisters is a "red". Well, she married red, let's not give her too much credit. For the past 25 years she's been all Ayn Rand this and hard-work/self-reliance that. She couldn't work herself out of a paper bag, but seems to think her four waterfront houses and private jet are a by-product of her uncanny intelligence and plain ol' hard work.
Fuck that. She married onto that gravy train in 1985 and has ridden it all the way to the top. She cannot understand why poor people just don't work harder and earn the income gains that she has so easily reaped. Meanwhile her husband doesn't give a shit about what she thinks because he usually manages to be at one of the three houses she ain't, with high-whore-diamond hooker with bright red nails.
It absolutely makes me ill.
It's not so much their lifestyle that's disgusting, it's the contrast.
Wisconsin elected your sister to be our new Senator.
Most trophy wives would agree with her on the difficulty of being a trophy wife. They say they could never make it through the day without their fitness trainer, acupuncturist, and fashion consultant. And I believe them.
Not as ill as the Third Shift Manager at the local Motel 6, who lives on a constant diet of Fox News, that buys into that bullshit that they tell them.
Let me clue you into something, numbnuts. Advancement for you will be getting moved to 2nd shift.
William Barron Hilton is not going to turn over the Hilton Hotels Conglomerate over to you because you manage to keep the ice machine working.
This is the story of many Can'tservatives. They literally suck their way to the top 2%.
My sister is a "red" too. (Who picked these colors?) Except she helped her husband work they way up from light blue. Unsurprisingly, she is a Republican who gets all her "news" from FOX. She's not a bad person at all, but her politics suck seriously hard. And her notion of poverty is people who have to live like Ward and June Cleaver.
Oh sure the rich got loaded — but they took all that extra money and created jobs with it, right?
True, the market for executive ball washers has never been better.
Hey, I never had a poor person send my job over seas or run a company into the ground.
Which proves they're inherently lazy.
Yes, and for that, China thanks them.
Let's get out there and take one for the Gipper!
I prefer Reagan as Drake McHugh in "Kings Row": "Where's the rest of me?"
I thought terror alert colors were being phased out. Thank God that this is not Egypt or Libya, or otherwise, the people would be totally pissed.
That top red line sure is unpredictable. It must be stressful to go from having almost everything to having nearly everything and back again.
Sure am glad I'm not one of those sons-a-bitches.
Richard Corey went home last night …
We put a bullet in his head.
Fuck civility.
Richard Corey reference. Cool.
The only part I remember is "so we went without meat, and cursed the bread…"
This isn't exactly new information, but am I the only one who had to fight the urge to scream after reading that?
No. So I distracted myself by wondering why the top 20% hasn't already wrested exclusive rights to the color yellow from the second 20%, and how the top 1% was going to convince the third 20% to vote against their interests and give away their claims to any use of the color red.
SCOTUS is working on those changes right now.
No, you are not alone there.
Yeah, go ahead, raise taxes on the rich. They'll just all become Chinese.
OK, so the top red line is the Koch Brothers, some hedge fund fuckfaces and lots of grandchildren of robber barons plus the Sam Walton family.
The dark blue bottom line is me and everyone I know.
All the people in between are on their way down to the basement because they sure aren't going up unless they hit the lottery.
Social mobility, USA Amerikkkan style, 2011.

I just heard it on the radio that "Wise Health Insurance" can offer health insurance for just $1 a day any one aware of this ? have anyone purchased insurance through them. I did search for them and found them online.
The solution is obvious: everyone marry a Hilton sister. Problem solved.
Thanks, I think I would rather be poor and jerk off.
That is a hit for my team that I'm not even willing to take.
I just want to live comfortably, so I'd take a Ramada/Best Western/Motel 6 sister who'd be tolerable and down-to-earth.
I'm aiming a little higher than that – someone fine me a Marriott sister.
Can we have sex with them (like rabid banshees) then dump them and walk away with a shitload of cash to settle down with someone nice? That might work.
I'm herpes free and would like to keep it that way.
Actually, William Barron Hilton is doing it right. He is saying, fuck it. 97% of his wealth is going to a charitable trust upon his death.
The other lines might as well be different shades of brown.
There may be another time in American history when this has happened.
What, like pre-1860's?
The Robber Baron/Octopus years were pretty close, but the difference then is that the majority of Americans were self-supporting farmers — it didn't matter all that much if the stock market rose & fell, or if there were bubbles in the cities.
The closest we've come to this was pre-Great Depression/Global Collapse 1920s. That's when the "little people" were finally set up to take the fall for a bubble bursting — mortgages, insurance, stocks, lay-a-way, consumer debt, all that shit first appeared in the 1920s for the masses.
Of course we got out of that because America was ready to go nuts with manufacturing and World War II and science and a huge, young, clever work force ready to move out of the city or the sticks to a nice new clean suburb.
Now we're a nation of elderly slobs on hoverounds, with a small illiterate youth demographic and a tiny Richistan class running literally everything for their comfort and gain — and that specifically includes the multi-millionaire golfer/celebrity author Barack Obama, who could give a fuck about poor people or black people or anyone else who doesn't fly private jets.
If he's such a celebrity, how come he's losing to Donald Trump?
Nailed you, didn't I?
You had me til Obama.
I'm sure you knew I was being facetious.
I was offered a student loan with over 16% interest rate from Sallie Mae. I sold a house for 4.2% 30 year fixed at the same time. I have a score a chicken could not peck, yet the borrower was less than. I can go bankrupt or die and that loan would still be secured. That purchase was 4x as important as my education to America, according to the math. I think that is super smart.
Some of the wealthy think it is a good idea to let Americans have all of those guns. Yet as Qdaffy is demonstrating when you fuck people over long enough they may start shooting at you.
Yeah, tumbrels and guillotines are so-o-o-o 18th century.
They've already started shooting… abortionists.
& sometimes, they change it up, drag 'em to death (racial & sexual minorities, mostly).
The Rich have bamboozled the Poor quite enough to survive the latter's arsenal.
The time is coming, I hope. Warms my heart to see the police marching with the union school & city workers in Wisconsin. Police don't just carry guns, they know how to *use* them.
Now, now … I wouldn't exactly call "relentlessly pegged by a dominatrix Godzilla using a saguaro as a strap-on for years on end" ALMOST NOTHING.
But do the mega-rich even get a phone-call or flowers the next day? Nooooooooo.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph! I survive on about 250 a year, and I wonder what the rest of y'all live on. Why, I have no polo ponies, no yacht, no airplane. Shit fire, I ain't even got a second home in Aspen or some such place. We're screwed, basically.
It was refreshing to see Ken write this piece with such a serious tone. There is a time coming, and soon, when there will be resistance. The former middle class, as fucking slow on the uptake as they are, will, at some point, connect the dots. This whole ability of the Republicans (but the other guys as well) and their media goons to sell the majority on what is simply voting against their own interests, will not go on forever. It can't, because as the plight of the vast majority declines at an ever increasing pace, they will start trying to actually figure out what is going on. It's harder to blame everything on queers and Mexicans when you actually don't have enough to eat. I look forward to the day when the majority starts to get it. This abuse by the monied class has gone on too long.
Not while American Idol is on the air….or look, the McRib sandwich is back.
i wish i could believe that. i really really do.
Yeah, I believed that for awhile. Even thought I saw the day come, in 2008. Then Nov 2nd, 2010 came along and proved me wrong.
Now, I'm glad that my days on this planet are growing shorter and hope I'm gone before America returns to a feudal society.
If you're right, and I hope you are, this isn't going to have anything to do with bullshit elections. It's going to be Middle East, but "Middle West" style.
I once met a woman who worked as a dominatrix here in Melbourne (Australia) and claimed she was hired by one of the local plutocrats to beat him around the head with a copy of the Communist Manifesto. She may have been having me on, but I've always clung to that image as some sort of compensation when I read things like this.
Of course the Manifesto is only slender, so the plutocrat was a Pussy. She should have beaten him with the Grundrisse or one of the volumes of Capital.
I paid a visit to Melbourne (Florida), and the dominatrices in that state beat poor people about the head and shoulders with copies of Ayn Rand tomes.
My sister and her family went to Florida once on a holiday (to visit Disneyworld) and while they didn't access any dominatrix services they did comment on the absence of fresh fruit and vegetables in the supermarkets.
So your observation conjures a vision of overweight, constipated dominatrixes with incipient scurvy feebly bashing clients with copies of Atlas Shrugged.
Oh say can't you see
By the dawn's early light
How a paperback book is used by a floozy
Ayn Rand isn't sexy, though she was fond of rape
But her fans are now legion and watch Beck on Videotape
OT but apparently another federal judge upheld the healthcare law today: http://tinyurl.com/4p5s3ob
It's a measure of how crazy the world is right now that this is not even a headline on the main Google News page at this moment. But I'm sure the media will be trumpeting this as loudly as they trumpeted the judge in Florida a few weeks ago who ruled against it, right? RIght?
For those keeping score, that's now 3-2 in favor of the law, with ten or twelve judges not even bothering to hear the lawsuits the teatards have been filing.
I'm going to savor this along with all the labor stuff. Gives me hope that we ain't dead yet.
I'm not sure what those Bush Junior tax cats are, but they sure suck if you're a dog person.
Cats will be cats, and cats will be cruel
Cats can be callous, and cats can be cool
Cats will be cats, remember these words
Cats will be cats, and cats eat birds
So Robin, get wise, use good sense,
And better brush up on your self defense
It's a jungle out there, and hunger strikes deep
Better take care, better watch where you sleep
Whoops! Somebody was up late & typing angry again. Bill Murray warned against that, didn't he?
Interesting as to how well the red line correlates very well with the rise of Right Wing Radio (no relation) and Föx Noose. Further, there is a negative correlation with the downfall of Unions.
Oh, the mega-ultra-rich don't listen to right wing radio. They have their own radio network on a bandwidth that our commonly available proletarian hoi-polloi radios won't tune to. But you're not missing much; as I understand it, the programming consists entirely of a continuous loop of James Earl Jones' reading aloud of The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged.
I have a friend, life-long union guy, who says credit cards killed the unions. Those allowed working stiffs to get so far in debt they lost the courage to go on strike. (His spiel is longer, but he makes a very strong case for the theory.)
Wait, so how are we not a banana republic, again? Do we actually have to start exporting bananas for us to gain the formal title?
American Exceptionalism at work, my friends. Fuck, and we wonder why we have bridges falling down in Minneapolis, so layered in bird droppings, because we're too fucking cheap to give them the what-for kind of inspection they need.
We can't do shit in this country, anymore. The Golden Gate bridge would never be built, today. The Mackinaw Bridge? Nah-ah. Detroit lies in ruins, and school district is about to make cuts that'll put an average of 60 students per teacher in a classroom, yet the now-shrinking suburbs are still getting money to expand freeways to no-fucking-where. The fuck?
We are so doomed.
Well, at least Detroit is gonna get a statue of Robocop. http://www.bestweekever.tv/2011-02-22/detroit-is-...
I, for once, welcome our new shiny, metallic overlord.
We're singin' the Delta City blues, here, and I ain't talkin' Nawlins (which, ironically, has a measurably higher homicide rate than Detroit).
Ain't that the truth. Where I live (Portlandia) they can't even figure out how to build a new bridge on I-5 across the Columbia River without selling it to the highest bidder (private = great)….that is just fucked up…in case you're not familiar I-5 is the only north-south freeway on the west coast and thus somewhat important to economic well-being…oh, wait we don't have any well-being…shit!
thas one fine comment my brotha from anotha mutha…yes we certainly are doomed as well as fucked, but what we really are is this…dance, monkeys, dance! (no offense intended, or otherwise, also) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a15KgyXBX24
Let's see. The average value of an estate at death in the USA is $29,000. Only 2% are valued at $800,000.00 or above. Having inherited two estates at the $800,000 level, consisting of crap collections of bad art, depreciating real estate, weird momentos and knick-knacks, I would guess most Americans are not in line to have life-changing experiences.
I've always held that "trickle down" was more like a "bladder-infection drip."
Maybe it started with Reagan, but every administration and congress since then are responsible for the mess we're in. We are so freakin' doomed.
"Trickle-down" really means "a fine shower of piss."
Sure it's class war, but it's a secret class war — so you better keep it quiet so as not to disturb the good Real Americans, eatin' anus burgers, watchin' flat-screens.
First rule of Class War is you don't speak of Class War.
Sort of like how the "Secret War in Laos" wasn't really a secret to the Laotians.
It's only called class war when the American working class fights back.
It's definitely a class war…and it seems like David (the rich few) is beating Goliath's (the rest of us) ass badly by using our fear of the queer and the messican to make us fight among ourselves.
Are the "Bush Junior tax cats" a cute video on the YouTube that I missed?
Oh silly Ken. Don't rain on the Teabaggers parade. Maths and lojik aren't Teabaggers friends. Hell, they don't even speak to each other. All that matters to those dumbfucks is that a BLACK Man is in the WHITE House and that they believe they're in that 1%.
The sad thing is that they really DO believe they're in that 1%. They have no concept of the wealth of the top 1% and 20%. They look at movie stars and professional ball throwers and think that's the top. I have spent the last 20 years trying to explain this to people, and they are simply clueless.
More like in denial. Class isn't a word on a T-shirt. When you run in that stratosphere, it's all about who you know, place of birth and went to school with and what subjects you took. We're just menials to them. I went to school with some of that !% and that's the way they handled themselves.
you got it, I grew up/ went to school with a bunch of these assholes…my poor Irish Dad was 'lucky' enough to build his little construction company into a multi-million dollar business over about 20 years and then we moved on up to the northside (in true George Jefferson fashion) and we had union workers who made a good living and could afford to send THEIR kids to college too…but then we lost it all after the 1st Bush recession and my folks lost millions because of these cocksucking thieves and their banking whores…oh how I hated the frat boy fuck tards who had such a sense of 'entitlement' just cuz they won th egenetic lottery like 'ol BushBoy hisself…at least my ol man made me WORK for a livin' and I was a union apprentice who appreciated what my brothers went thru to earn their $$$$! *rant over*
Umm, so Mother Jones thinks they're getting through to the masses by using terms like "percent," and plus and minus signs? That's not a very good infographic.
Ken's late-night Tales from the Vale of Woe and Slough of Despond are the reason I don't do Wonkette after hours. Otherwise I'd never be able to sleep.
I think if I hear the words "shared sacrifice" one more time, someone's getting punched in the dick.
It's all there, black and white, clear as crystal! You get nothing! You lose! Good day, sir!
Not quite on topic, but I heard the local NPR affiliate's coverage of Walker's Firebomb Chat, & one of the choice quotes: "what I am asking is for labour to make sacrifices, which those of us outside government find quite modest…"
Whoa. Wait a second. "Those of us" — the first person plural? As in the Constitution's "We, the People" (I don't recall James Madison being Mexican) & Queen's "We Are the Champions" (I don't recall Freddie Mercury being heterosexual)? Scott Walker is including himself as one "outside government"?
So, he didn't win in November, I guess. Who's governor, then? It's not Barrett, since he's still mayor of Milwaukee. It's not Kleefisch — since if Walker didn't win, his running-mate couldn't have, either. Who? Who?
Whoever it is, I hope s/he rides on to Madison & calls the Senate GOP & the Fitzgerald Brothers on their shenanigans.
Scott Walker has been in politics for decades, busily screwing the citizens of Milwaukee county. He can't even claim to have come inside recently.
I can't even express my irritation with the uptake of his "it's about the money" rhetoric in words. The unions have offered huge sacrifices up to and even beyond what Walker demanded in financial terms, and yet he keep saying "it's about the money" and talking about "modest sacrifices" of the kind everyone else makes (e.g. monetary ones, not giving up rights), and people keep *printing it in the newspapers* without eviscerating him, keep parroting it. Fucking hell.

I take the time to flip off the people I see on the road with a "He who dies with the most toys, wins." bumper stickers.
The one that really got me was the income distribution graph where Americans chose what they thought a fair distribution of wealth would be. Check out those middle quintiles, which are almost equal – we're talking radical redistribution, with a lot of income leveling.
I'm a bit skeptical about the methodology on this one, though. Were respondents actually given this information visually? And how in the hell were the bottom two lines (what people think the distribution is, what people think it should be) of the inforgraphic assembled from the survey data? What percentage of respondents thought the distribution fit those particular frames, or if it's an aggregate somehow, how was that average reached?
I'm just saying, I demand more of my infographics. The rest of them were pretty self-explanatory, though: we're all fucked.
I heard today that people are buying Starbucks and ordering dessert again. Good times are just around the corner!
At least Monday Morning Quarterback has one thing to be thankful for.
Alright, when did Peter King start trolling Wonkette? Is this how he spends the off-season?
Thanks for posting that, Ken!
Those of you who bother engaging trolls, the only reply you should ever post to those morons is these charts, in my opinion.
amen Chet, I posted this twice already on my FB page
Morning Downfister. I'm at 111p, muthafucka

I always thought I was upper-middle, or middle-middle class, Turns out I'm upper-lower-middle and dropping
And now they wanna eliminate collective bargaining rights. This is the plutocracy of the lobbies and the Chamber of Commerce.
Yes, but if we tax the rich and the corporations, there's the danger they may go rob and steal somewhere else.
You know, $250,000/yr really isn't all that much. I heard it on Fox.
I've been trying to fight the system by pilfering cookies from the Safeway's baked goods display.
Corporations should pay little to no taxes. The more taxes they pay the more the customer/client is charged. All I hear here is class envy. Everyone here has equal opportunity to build a big successful business from the ground up as many if not most have started from one single person, with hardly any money. I hope you get a business, then I will be jealous of you and try to take $ away from you because I begrudge you? I don't even understand why the "business man" is being brought up..you chose to be a teacher, and not a business man.
I can't believe that this country is being called "ridiculous". Look at what else is going on in the world. Did I hear "spoiled brat?". In this "ridiculous" country you are given FREEDOM to protest to whatever you believe in, which is yes TRIVIAL in comparison to the chaos around the world, namely , the MIddle East. I feel for THEM. I think this is pure greed and ungratefulness…If I were a student in Wisconsin, I would lose ALL faith in the way teachers are handling this : not giving a seconds thought to the kids and leaving them in the lurch while they protest and virtually abandon these kids to suit their own interests.That is what I call "ridiculous" ..I would get my GED and get the hell out!
I ont see whut so bad about being slavery. Slaves wuz happy, and dancing and all 'at. I mean look at the movies. They's allus smiling. So I think I want to be slave cause free is too much damn trubble. You gt to read things and shit. Those people who want more munnies just think they shit don't stimk. It does
Eat the rich.
There would be protests in the streets of Doritoland, but everyone is too wasted on depression and boner pills.
I'm curious about what the chart for the top 20 percent would look like if it didn't include the top 1 percent. I suspect it would be a lot closer to the 2nd 20 percent.
I am very pleased to see that my average household income before taxes has been holding steady for over 30 years…What's not to like? I don't need to bother looking at another chart…I might even splurge tonight for dinner and have Friskies instead of the store brand.
I thought Riley was already promised to Breitbart.
Will breitbart be there?
Oh this was years ago, at least a year before breitbart roofied his wine spritzer the first time.
I heard breitbart roofies every wine spritzer he drinks, just to be safe. It's his iocaine powder.
Inconceivable
You guys are devouring my lunchtime, thank you.
Who, Ken? No, he's right, Obamama doesn't care abouot the poor, at least not nearly enough as he should given his background.
