Getting the hell out of dodge

 
As they sang in my favorite movie- “So long, farewell…”
Or better yet- don’t let the door hit you in the ass.
I hope the next time we see former President Bush in Washington he is accompanied by his attorney to testify at his war crimes trial.

Finally.

The pot and the kettle

But it’s not so much George W. who has me flabbergasted.  You would have thought his departure would [...]

Save the date

I heard this story while upside down in the dentist’s  chair and had I not had a mouth full of implements and fingers I would have no doubt gagged, or shouted, or groaned.  If I were her mother, or her best friend, or big sister I would smack this lovely woman up the side of [...]

One quick question really I promise.

I can’t believe I am even talking about this! But humor me and allow me this one rhetorical question
HOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOWHOW?????
Bristol says teens need to avoid pregnancy-

Abstinence-which clearly didn’t work for her and Levi.
