Are you sick of primaries yet? Yes? Too bad! There are several more of them today! Sex maniac Nikki Haley will probably win, after Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin turned her into a proxy for America, by fighting for her love. Also, a black conservative will probably beat Strom Thurmond’s son; a lesbian is running [...]
People keep sending versions of this video today, and the videos keep popping up as “Removed by User,” so there’s something stinky going on, and we don’t even know if this a “congressman,” but maybe it is, and maybe there’s a reason these midget children are harassing him to the point where he firmly holds [...]
