HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Enjoy the night of the Living Chocolate.
GASLIGHTING: A Democrat specialty.



Watch until the end for the reason.
TELL ME IT ISN'T SO: Financial fraud in ObamaCare co-op?
STILL LOOKING for the 'affordable' in the Affordable Care Act.
MICHAEL BARONE: Free stuff can turn out to be a bad buy. Even in the short run, free stuff is never free.
IT'S HALLOWEEN! And Powerline's Week in Pictures is up. My favorite is this response to the PC social justice warriors who want to destroy Halloween:


The rest are just as good; go now and see them.
HOW MANY IS 'SEVERAL'? Obama administration open to allowing Assad to remain in power for several months.

Hint: January 20, 2017 is 15 months away....
RNC TO NBC: Sod off, swampy.

Friday, October 30, 2015

THE MEDIA’S Potemkin Village starts to topple: "The MSM is shaky right now, no question. So put your shoulder to the wheel and knock it over."
WITH ZERO EVIDENCE, CNN links Carly Fiorina’s falling numbers to her attack on Planned Parenthood.

Evidence? We don't need no stinkin' evidence; we're the lamestream mainstream media.
THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY wants you to dress your kids up in energy-themed costumes for 'Energyween'. Okay, how 'bout as an oil well? Or a coal mine?

Anyone who thinks government is underfunded is a fool. Ben Carson is right. Hold the debt ceiling where it is and make the government quit this silly crap.
BRAVO FOR THEM: "The campaign managers for the three outsider campaigns -- Carson, Fiorina and Trump -- agreed to force the RNC and the networks to stop this nonsense and hold a debate."

I hope a few others -- Rubio, Cruz, Christie, perhaps Lindsey Graham -- join in.
NO. Are annual medical exams really necessary? But they are useful in scaring the populace into submission to liberal dogma.
ANOTHER EXAMPLE of 'tolerant' liberalism. Threats of violence are the last refuge of scoundrels.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS are no place for bullies -- unless you're a teacher.
OBAMACARE HAS CANCER. And if it’s not treated quickly and aggressively, it will die.

Wrong on both counts. ObamaCare is cancer. And it should be killed as quickly and aggressively as possible.
AMMO GRRRLL RETURNS with thoughts on the precious little snowflakes (emplasis on 'flakes') of the progressive Left.
CAN PAUL RYAN tame a reckless establishment? Maybe, even hopefully, but I suspect only after the 2016 elections give him a new Congress and President to work with. Otherwise we'll be living in the United Socialist States of America.
#VETERAN LIVES DON'T MATTER: At least not to Hillary Clinton.
FOOD POLICE FAILURE: 1.4 million kids reject Michelle Obama's lunches, starves schools of $1.2 billion in lost revenue. The pity is that $1.2 billion doesn't come out of the (federal) government's coffers.

Explain to me again why government isn't too big, too powerful, too intrusive ... and far too expensive.
CARLY FIORINA: Clinton presidency 'bad for women'. Bad for feminists too, although they have yet to realize it.

Thursday, October 29, 2015

THE MOST OPEN & TRANSPARENT ADMINISTRATION EVER: Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX) battles NOAA over subpoena for climate study records.

One would think that if the agency were confident of its study, it would be eager to have its analysis fact-checked. It is, after all, the scientific method.
CARSON: PC culture is destroying the U.S.

Punching back.
FIRST THEY THOUGHT SHE WAS DOUR, now the 'ladies' of The View think her smile looks demented.

Their hate of a woman not their own is palpable.
JEFF JACOBY: So what if Ben Carson is a creationist?

Let's remember that John F. Kennedy was a Catholic, and I'm old enough to remember the expressions of concern that he would be the Pope's president. Mitt Romney is a (gasp!) Mormon, and anyone with enough gray matter to rub between thumb and forefinger knows he would have been a better President than our current one.
OH, REALLY? The world still needs the United Nations. There may be a need for a United Nations, just not this one.
UNITED KINGDOM'S VULCAN BOMBER makes its final flight.
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BENJAMINS: Union lies may squash successful Colorado education reforms. Union lies and liberal dogma....
THE COST OF REDUCING GLOBAL WARMING by one (1!) degree is now estimated at $365 billion (yes, billion) annually.

That's not pocket change.
PUMPKINS: the new cause of global warming. What grim-faced creatures are the new Puritans of the environmental Left.

There is no joy in their world....
FINALLY: Benghazi committee gets classified White House records. Despite the Democrats' earnest desire, Trey Gowdy isn't going to get tired and walk away from the investigation.
BILL WHITTLE: Let's talk about Donald Trump.
13 TO GO: Utah 10th ObamCare startup to close. The way things are going, it may not be necessary for the next President and Congress to kill ObamaCare; just bury the corpse.
SPACEPORT AMERICA: Welcome to the ghost town that Virgin Galactic built.

SEN. TOM COTTON (R-AR) Foreign Policy and the Constitution.

Read it all.
INSTAPUNDIT: Obama's Nobel 'peace' prize.
In Iraq, Obama took a war that we had won at a considerable expense in lives and treasure, and threw it away for the callowest of political reasons. In Syria and Libya, he involved us in wars of choice without Congressional authorization, and proceeded to hand victories to the Islamists. Obama’s policy here has been a debacle of the first order....
Read it all. And remember it all when you go to the polls next.
HEH: Europe now wishing for a Second Amendment.
IT'S NOT A DEMOCRACY; it's an 'ignocracy'. And Judge Judy does not sit on the Supreme Court (although given the quality of Obama's appointees, perhaps she should).
"NOTHING TO SEE HERE if you don’t want us auditing you…"
WHOSE SHRINKING ISLAND? The blue areas tell me exactly where the Syrian refugees should be resettled. The red areas tell me where they will be resettled.
I, MAMMAL! The key identifying characteristic of a progressive is he/she/it is batshit crazy (coupled with the fundamental belief that the rest of the world must be as crazy as he/she/it is).
WHAT'S HAPPENING with Carly Fiorina? It will be interesting to see how the polls change after tonight's debate.
CORNELL UNIVERSITY: We can't have our precious little snowflakes talking to reporters who might try to embarrass them us.
FILE UNDER PROGRESSIVES ARE 'TOO' CRAZY: The word ‘too’ is sexist and hurts women.

No wonder the precious little snowflakes are afraid of global warming -- they'll melt.

AUTUM LEAVES 2015:

Well, I guess I was wrong when I wrote about the color changes last week. Here's this week's photo, and the color changes are dramatic.


I guess all the leaves falling we've been experiencing over the past weeks was Mother Nature telling all the leaves unwilling to cooperate with a spectacular fall colors show to drop off and get out of the way.

Sunday, October 25, 2015

JEFF JACOBY: Would Rabin have pulled the plug on a 'peace process' that failed?

Unfortunately, I'm slowly coming to the belief that for there ever to be a lasting Mideast peace, the West will have to bomb the Islamists into submission oblivion and then recolonize.
#BLACKLIVESMATTER: Comey, complete and unexpurgated. From the comments:
If obama [sic] and the Democrats are going to increase the rate at which their zoo animals kill each other, I'm not going to get in the way. And if the innocent ones get tired of being victims of failed Democrat policies, they're welcome to consider changing whom they choose as leaders.
Well said.
NEW YORK CITY is going to the rats. And not the ones in City Hall.
SCIENCE: Sand causes cancer. If that's true, then there are two things we must do: (1) increase fracking, to pump that dangerous stuff well underground, and (2) encourage more progressives to move to the blue coastal areas where the hurricanes and rising waters can wash their bodies away after they die of cancer.

There. Problem solved.
HOT AIR: The Banana Republic of America.

Truer words ....
HEH: Is there anything that hasn't gone to hell in the Age of Obama?
AMERICAN HISTORY: From the melting pot to the salad bowl, with emphasis on the rotten apples in the salad.
SHOULD TEACHERS be allowed to carry guns in schools? The consensus, both in the article and in the comments, appears to by "Yes."

CARPETBAGGERS FOR HILLARY:
The Washington, D.C., suburbs in Northern Virginia have almost singlehandedly transformed Virginia from a deep red state to a swing state in the past two decades and if Hillary Clinton wants to mimic President Barack Obama’s 2008 and 2012 success in the commonwealth, she will have to turn out the government contractors and bureaucrats who now populate the city.
Call it the 'free stuff' bureaucracy....
POOR MANAGEMENT IS NOT A CRIME: The Department of Justice found “substantial evidence of mismanagement, poor judgment, and institutional inertia leading to the belief by many tax-exempt applicants that the IRS targeted them based on their political viewpoints.”

But it wasn't criminal.

Hogwash! Tell that the Wall Street executives now facing possible criminal persecution prosecution.
Corporations can only commit crimes through flesh-and-blood people.... It’s only fair that the people who are responsible for committing those crimes be held accountable. The public needs to have confidence that there is one system of justice and it applies equally regardless of whether that crime occurs on a street corner or in a boardroom.
Unless it's a government boardroom.
I FIND IT AMUSING that the progressives (also known as liberals, Democrats, and media) are forever railing that those evil Republicans are protecting the Wall Street millionaires and billionaires who are stealing from the poor and middle classes to enrich themselves.

And yet ... under the Obama administration, from January 2009 until now the DJIA has risen 101%, from 8778 to 17647, the NASDAQ has risen 219% from 1577 to 5032, even as average household income has declined and remains essentially flat today.


Now, repeat after me, the Republicans are the party of the rich.

I guess I should be happy, since while I'm hardly a Wall Street billionaire, I've seen my savings more than double since Obama became President.
‘MAN-MADE’ CLIMATE CHANGE endangering shrimp, lobsters, crabs. Mostly it's endangering climate-change enthusiasts.
POWERLINE'S WEEK IN PICTURES is up. This week it's the 'Back to the Future' edition. My favorite:

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION: Does higher education actually contribute to a free society? Probably not. At least not today's version of higher education.
DOCTORS AGREE: Obama's electronic medical records mandate sucks!

It's not about health care; it's about health control. With progressives, it's always about control.

WHY AREN’T THERE MORE BLACK SCIENTISTS? Affirmative action. This has been obvious for years, everywhere except inside the 'reality world' bubble inhabited by progressives.

THOMAS SOWELL: Misinformed should stay home and not vote on election day. (Neal Cavuto: And that would be all MSNBC watchers.)
GALLUP: a majority of Americans believe concealed carry makes the United States safer.
THE ANTI-SCIENCE CANDIDATE ... Bernie Sanders. I think 'pseudo-science' (pronounced psilly-science) is a more accurate descriptor, not just of Bernie Sanders, but of progressives generally.

I'm reminded of the tagline contemptuously applied to evangelicals not that long ago ("The Bible said it, I believe it, and that's all there is to it."). With a simple change of 'Bible' to whatever the Holy Book of progressivism is, it would accurately describe the mind of the 'modern' progressive.
IT EXPLAINS ZOMBIES AND DEMOCRATS: Tapeworms living inside people's brains.
PROTECTION MONEY: More CEOs donate to Clinton than to any GOP candidate.
AND RUSSIA. You forgot Russia.
THOMAS SOWELL: Politician's words, weasel words.
POWERLINE: The only 'global warming' chart you need.
PRO-BUSH PAC LEADER: Trump nothing but a 'false zombie front-runner'. The Bush campaign is whistling past the cemetary....

Heh.
BERNIE SANDERS: light on 'Democratic' and heavy on 'Socialism'.
REALLY? Drugmakers and insurers are Hillary's enemies?
JEFF JACOBY: Make redistricting better by making it color-blind. A measure I've long advocated.
AUTUMN LEAVES 2015:

I've started my 2015 collection of weekly pictures of our house as the leaves begin to change. While the leaves are falling steadily (I have to clear the driveway daily), not much has happened in terms of color change. Here's the first picture, taken last Wednesday:


And here's today's picture:


Except for sun angle, there's very little change in color. But there's a very large change in the number of fallen leaves I've had to blow away. I suspect this is going to be a disappointing year for colors.
WEBB WITHDRAWS: His views have essentially no place in the Democratic Party today.

Jim Webb is the last standing member of the real Democrat party; today's version should more honestly be named the Socialist Party (but of course they're not honest).

UPDATE: A worthy candidate without a constituency.

NO, BERNIE SANDERS, Scandinavia is not a socialist utopia.

IF MITT ROMNEY were President....
DEREK HUNTER:
We aren’t going to Hell in a hand basket. It’s a Hummer limo with a stripper pole jutting through the sunroof, “Save the Planet” and “Coexist” bumper stickers, and enough room for a camera crew to capture everyone’s face buried in their phones as they post selfies on their Instagram accounts.

Forget the debt. Never mind the Middle East, the piles of bodies in our cities, etc. Screw it all, some spoiled brat is offended! In a world full of problems, serious problems, if these are what we focus on we might as well just admit we really have no problems at all. If we’re going to go down, we might as well go down in flames

Bingo!

I'd let 'em go down in flames if they'd promise not to take me with them.
ISRAELI AMBASSADOR explains to MSNBC why you can shoot terrorists wielding knives.
When somebody is coming at you with a knife, there is no middle ground. You have to actually take action in order to thwart that attack. Not everybody who has come at different people with knives have been killed, but there have been instances where a guy’s taking a knife and he is going to kill somebody. They say guns kill people. Knives kill people. That’s why you have to take action.
Actually it's terrorists who kill people. You use guns to stop them.

Obviously the Israelis don't understand MSNBC's belief that terrorists are just friends you haven't made yet....

THOMAS SOWELL ON GUN CONTROL: May the farce be with you.
This shows up when gun control zealots are asked whether whatever new law they propose would have prevented the shooting rampage that they are using as a stage from which to propose a new clampdown on gun ownership. Almost always, the new law being proposed would not have made the slightest difference. That too is part of the farce. A deadly farce.

So is the automatic assertion that whoever engaged in a shooting rampage was a madman. Yet these supposedly crazy shooters are usually rational enough to choose some "gun-free zone" for their murderous attacks. They seem more rational than gun control zealots who keep creating more "gun-free zones."
The gun controllers live in an alternate reality. Their bodies, though, live - and die - in this one.

FREE AT LAST, Democrats finally come out of the Socialist closet.
[Y]es, the candidates sounded like hard-Left, pie-in-the-sky, free-ice-cream-for-everyone, Socialist pander bears. But they do so because that is what the Democratic Party’s primary voters demand. Don’t blame them; blame the party rank-and-file that craves these promises, rhetoric, and worldview.

AT CNN, a double standard for Democrat, Republican debates:
Before the Republican presidential debate at the Reagan Library Sept. 16, CNN promised to stage what it called "actual debating."

"Is one of the goals for you … to spur more actual debating?" CNN's Brian Stelter asked debate moderator Jake Tapper a few days before the event.... Tapper said ... "[W]hat the team and I have been doing is trying to craft questions that, in most cases, pit candidates against the other, specific candidates on the stage, on issues where they disagree, whether it's policy or politics or leadership. Let's actually have them discuss and debate."

That was then. Now, another CNN anchor, Anderson Cooper, will be moderating a debate, this time among Democrats, and he says there will be none of that raucous "actual debating" this time around.

"I'm always uncomfortable with that notion of setting people up in order to kind of promote some sort of a faceoff," Cooper told Stelter Sunday. "I think these are all serious people. This is a serious debate. They want to talk about the issues."

Leave the slugfest to the Republicans. The Democratic debate will be a serious discussion of the issues

Neither party seems all that invested in continuing dynasties.

OBAMA: 'Yes' I would win if I ran for president again.

The arrogance of a$$holes....
FORMER ATTORNEY GENERAL Michael B. Mukasey, on Justice and the Obama 'Just Us' Department.
If you think about it, it makes sense that in America—the only nation in the world to define itself not by blood or land, but by a law, the Constitution—the government agency charged with enforcing that law, and enforcing the laws passed under it, would be called the Department of Justice. As such, the work of the Justice Department is highly important. It plays a fundamental role in our nation’s life, because its work has to do in one way or another with how honest, how fair, and how safe our country is.

That being said, I’m regretful to have to add that in a country where honesty, fairness, and safety are so strongly influenced by one department of government, over the past six years—largely because of that department’s work—our country has grown less honest, less fair, and less safe than it ought to be

9/11: WHAT A DIFFERENCE a day makes. Scroll up and down using the links at the top of the Instapundit post for more reflections.

This post is well beyond its usual 'expiration date' but I've been thinking about this for several weeks now. At 9:30 am on 9/11/2001, I was unaware, unalert, unarmed, and worry-free as I arrived at work. At 9:30 am on 9/11/2015 I was aware, alert, armed, and worried as I was taking my wife to the airport.

Back in 2001, I owned no weapons and had no thought of acquiring them. Today I have a concealed carry permit, multiple weapons, and I practice using them regularly.

What the hell has happened over the past 14 years? My guess: thirty-plus years of the progressives' rainbow-and-unicorn 'reality world' policies have finally come home to roost.

With respect to foreign policy, thirty years of pacifistic 'enemies-are-just-friends-we-haven't-met-yet' and 'all-cultures-are-equal' bullshit have landed us with a President who leads nannies from behind as the wolves roam unhindered.

On the domestic front, the same thirty years of progressive political correctness have given us a society where only self-appointed victims and their enablers have rights, ordinary citizens are constantly hectored by the tenets of political correctness, and Christians, conservatives, and old white men are summarily defined as 'evil'.

Progressives' bodies may exist in this world, but their minds (presuming they have such; I'm giving the benefit of doubt here) are in dreamland. It's time to move them to the childrens' table, where they can be told to sit down, shut up, and (hopefully) learn from their elders.
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS:


As rewritten by Barack Obama for the adherents of the secular religion called progressivism.
ALLEN WEST: "You first."

TRUMP
Some people are getting very nervous, including Barack Hussein Obama, Valerie Jarrett, Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton and Jon Corzine, to name just a few. And I know why.

I wrote a book titled "The Murder of the Middle Class" about the unholy conspiracy between big government, big business and big media. They all benefit by the billions of dollars from this partnership, and it's in all of their interests to protect one another. It's one for all and all for one.

It's a heck of a filthy relationship that makes everyone filthy rich - everyone except the American people. We get ripped off. We're the patsies.

But for once, the powerful socialist cabal and the corrupt crony capitalists are scared. I've never seen them this outraged, this vicious, this motivated or this coordinated. Never in all my years in politics have I seen anything like the way the mad dogs of hell have been unleashed on Donald Trump.

When white supremacist David Duke ran for governor of Louisiana, even he wasn't treated with this kind of outrage, vitriol and disrespect. When a known fraud, scam artist, and tax cheat like Al Sharpton ran for president, I never saw anything remotely close to this. The over-the-top reaction to Trump by politicians of both parties, the media and the biggest corporations of America has been so swift and insanely angry that it suggests they are all threatened and frightened like never before.

Why? Duke was never going to win. Sharpton was never going to win. Ron Paul was never going to win. Ross Perot was never going to win as a third-party candidate. Those candidates either didn't have or couldn't spare the billion dollars it takes to win the presidency. But Donald Trump can self-fund that amount tomorrow and still have another billion left over to pour into the last two-week stretch run before Election Day.

No matter how much they say to the contrary, the media, business and political elite understand that Trump is no joke. He could actually win and upset their nice cozy apple cart.

It's no coincidence that everyone has gotten together to destroy The Donald. No, this is a coordinated conspiracy led by President Barack Hussein Obama himself. Obama himself is making the phone calls and giving the orders; he's the ultimate intimidator who plays by the rules of Chicago thug politics.

Why is this so important to Obama? It's because most of the other politicians are part of the "old boys club." They talk big, but in the end they won't change a thing. Why? They are all beholden to big-money donors. They are all owned by lobbyists, unions, lawyers, gigantic environmental organizations and multinational corporations like Big Pharma or Big Oil. Or they are owned lock, stock and barrel by foreigners like George Soros owns Obama or foreign governments own Hillary with their Clinton Foundation donations.

These run-of-the-mill establishment politicians are all puppets owned by big money. But there's one man - and only one man - who isn't beholden to anyone. There's one man who doesn't need foreigners, or foreign governments, or George Soros, or the United Auto Workers, or the teachers union, or the Service Employees International Union, or the bar association to fund his campaign.

Billionaire tycoon and maverick Donald Trump doesn't need anyone's help.

That means he doesn't care what the media says. He doesn't care what the corporate elites think. That makes him very dangerous to the entrenched interests. That makes Trump a huge threat. Trump can ruin everything for the bribed politicians and their spoiled slave masters.

Don't you ever wonder why the GOP has never tried to impeach Obama? Don't you wonder why John Boehner and Mitch McConnell talk a big game, but never actually try to stop Obama? Don't you wonder why Congress holds the purse strings, yet has never tried to defund Obamacare or Obama's clearly illegal executive action on amnesty for illegal aliens? Bizarre, right? It defies logic, right?

Well, first, I'd guess many key Republicans are being bribed. Secondly, I believe many key Republicans are being blackmailed. Whether they are having affairs, or secretly gay, or stealing taxpayer money, the National Security Agency knows everything.

Ask former House Speaker Dennis Hastert about that. The government even knew he was withdrawing large sums of his own money from his own bank account. Trust me: The NSA, the SEC, the IRS and all the other three-letter government agencies are watching every Republican political leader. They know everything.

Thirdly, many Republicans are petrified of being called "racists." So they are scared to ever criticize Obama or call out his crimes, let alone demand his impeachment.

Fourth, why rock the boat? After defeat or retirement, if you're a "good boy," you've got a $5 million-per-year lobbying job waiting. The big-money interests have the system gamed. Win or lose, they win.

But Trump doesn't play by any of these rules. Trump breaks up this nice, cozy relationship between big government, big media and big business. All the rules are out the window if Trump wins the presidency. The other politicians will protect Obama and his aides - but not Trump.

Remember: Trump is the guy who publicly questioned Obama's birth certificate. He questioned Obama's college records and how a mediocre student got into an Ivy League university.

Now, he's doing something no Republican has the chutzpah to do. He's questioning our relationship with Mexico; questioning why the border is wide open; questioning why no wall has been built across the border; questioning if allowing millions of illegal aliens into America is in our best interests; questioning why so many illegal aliens commit violent crimes yet are not deported; and questioning why our trade deals with Mexico, Russia and China are so bad.

Trump has the audacity to ask out loud why American workers always get the short end of the stick. Good question.

I'm certain Trump will question what happened to the almost billion dollars given in a rigged no-bid contract to college friends of Michelle Obama at foreign companies to build the defective Obamacare website. By the way, that tab is now up to $5 billion.

Trump will ask if Obamacare's architects can be charged with fraud for selling it by lying. He will ask if Obama himself committed fraud when he said, "If you like your healthcare plan, you can keep it."

Trump will investigate Obama's widespread IRS conspiracy, not to mention Obama's college records.

Trump will prosecute Clinton and Obama for fraud committed to cover up Benghazi before the election.

How about the fraud committed by employees of the Labor Department when they made up dramatic job numbers in the last jobs report before the 2012 election?

Obama, the multinational corporations and the media need to stop this. They recognize this could get out of control. If left unchecked telling the raw truth and asking questions everyone else is afraid to ask, Trump could wake a sleeping giant.

Trump's election would be a nightmare. Obama has committed many crimes. No one else but Trump would dare to prosecute. He will not hesitate. Once Trump gets in and gets a look at "the cooked books" and Obama's records, the game is over. The gig is up. The goose is cooked.

Holder could wind up in prison. Jarrett could wind up in prison. Obama bundler Corzine could wind up in prison for losing $1.5 billion of customer money.

Clinton could wind up in jail for deleting 32,000 emails, or for accepting bribes from foreign governments while secretary of state, or for "misplacing" $6 billion as the head of the State Department, or for lying about Benghazi.

The entire upper level management of the IRS could wind up in prison. Obamacare will be defunded and dismantled. The Obama crime family will be prosecuted for crimes against the American people. And Obama himself could wind up ruined, his legacy in tatters.

Trump will investigate. Trump will prosecute. Trump will go after everyone involved - just for fun. That will all happen on Trump's first day in the White House. Who knows what Trump will do on Day 2?

That's why the dogs of hell have been unleashed on Donald Trump.

RANDOM THOUGHTS.

On society -
I don't need anger management. I need people to stop pissing me off!

My people skills are just fine. It's my tolerance to idiots that needs work.

Even duct tape can't fix stupid ... but it can muffle the sound!

When did it change from "We the people" to "screw the people" ?

Lord, grant me the strength to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can & the friends to post my bail when I finally snap.

Old age is coming at a really bad time.
On aging -
Of course I talk to myself. Sometimes I need expert advice.

I don't have gray hair. I have 'wisdom highlights'.

I'm going to retire and live off of my savings. Not sure what I'll do that second week.

The kids text me "plz" which is shorter than please. I text back "no" which is shorter than "yes" .

Oops! Did I roll my eyes out loud?

I don't trip over things, I do random gravity checks!

The biggest lie I tell myself is ..."I don't need to write that down, I'll remember it."

If God wanted me to touch my toes, he would've put them on my knees.

Wouldn't it be great if we could put ourselves in the dryer for ten minutes; come out wrinkle-free and three sizes smaller!

Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators. We haven't met yet!

Why do I have to press one for English when you're just gonna transfer me to someone I can't understand anyway?

At my age "getting lucky" means walking into a room and remembering what I came in there for.

THE STUFF OF NIGHTMARES:
Biden takes the Democrat nomination for President. He asks Obama, who can’t run for President again because he has already had two terms, to be his running mate. Obama accepts.

Biden is elected President and thus Obama is Vice President. This sails along for a short period of time and then Biden resigns. Who becomes President? Obama! This appears to be perfectly legal as Obama was elected to the office of Vice President. No violation of the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution.

Obama is back in power again.

PLEASE -- vote Republican.

Hell, judging from when I watch television (which is rarely), I'd conclude the 2 million number is annually. Or perhaps monthly.
