And Im speaking specifically of a few who seem to shit on every good thing that happens to Obama. Im sure there are Obama people to, but I guess because of my support for Obama, I dont see it as much. I feel like we are Gryffindor and they are Slytherin, when the repukes should be slytherin.

PS, I just realized that many of you probably havent read Harry Potter and I have because Im a youngin. Well, this is to the young that have then, and maybe some of the old who ahave.

Hillary is Ravenclaw.

Obama is Gryffindor, though.

5. It's a developmental issue called a conceit in Literature. Most people go through it,some
get stuck, like the boy-King her BuShitler.

Conceits are often attended by Inflation.

Not that unusual either.

.................

Been there, done that.

21. I read Harry Potter and I'm young
And I guarantee I have more intelligence in my left nut than you have in your entire body.

And yes, I have the arrogance to match it.

7. Is it true?
I've been told that my nickname is a Potter character.

I've been using "Pigwidgeon" since 1990. It means "a person of no particular importance; a John Doe."

Is this true?

8. That's funny. When I think of some Obama supporters, I think of the Tom Cruise Scientology video.
The YouTube one.
