24. I hope you're right

Oct 2012

I hope that amazing orator shows up and shows Robme his ass.

Whatever the reason, last night was painful.

I watched about 2 minutes of Morning Smoe this morning and just changed the channel before I threw up.

It hurts, but we have to hope Obama has an amazing recovery from this. I don't doubt he will...we just have to avoid the assholes who are hooping and hollering today with their win.

Here's the really funny part! Robme threw the Tea Partiers to the wolves last night and they're cheering his "win" this morning. ROFL, wonder what happens when THEY wake up to the truth tomorrow after their euphoria has expired.
