Are these photo-shopped? I don't think so. Nothing like gas prices to make politicians act silly. Still got his back, but this is a little embarrassing.

Quoted: Obama is such a snob about motorcars that he didn't know the car had to BE THERE for him to fill it up. He has never driven a car in his life. He rides a velvet-seated flying pineapple that runs on Dom Perignon champagne fuel.

This clip narrowly beat out Pres. Bush's dance w/ Pres. Johnson Sirleaf for my dot of the day. This is wonderful.

Quoted: Feb. 21 Ted Kennedy belts out a popular Mexican song during a Barack Obama event in Laredo, Texas.

This is a very fun read.

Quoted: What made Franklin great was how nobly he strived for perfection; what makes him almost impossibly interesting is how far short he fell of it.

Quoted: ...[On] religion: Serving God is Doing good to Man, but Praying is thought an easier Service, and therefore more generally chosen. Or delusion: He that lives upon Hope, dies farting. (Scholars have suggested that the last one was a printer’s error, and should have read “fasting,” but, I ask you, who was the printer?)

Quoted: “I pardon your turkeys, what does that imply?” he says to a turkey wrangler. “That the birds I haven’t pardoned, the turkeys each American actually eats on Thanksgiving, are criminals?” He adds, “I want a number so high even dogs can’t hear it.
