Surgeon General Gupta?

Posted at 5:21 pm in Barack Obama

Barack Obama has asked Sanjay Gupta, the medical correspondent for CNN and CBS to serve as Surgeon General.

So why in God’s green earth would Obama pick someone with out a lick of intelligence [...]

Unbelievable. So much for the sucking sound we heard a few days ago. What an amazing save. But the woman’s a dolt.  She’s as articulate as a box of rocks, so her recovery is certainly none of her doing.
Officials say the daughter of the late President John F. Kennedy will be the governor’s choice [...]

Posted at 5:03 pm in Politics & Sarah Palin

I just don’t know what to say except that there is medication that helps insanity like this. I recommend this person at Kos start taking some as soon as possible:
Sooo, what if she actually didn’t have a baby at all, and they just scrambled around, and adopted a baby, from another woman/girl. Now that’s crazy [...]

Barack Obama to purchase $30,000 ring for Michelle

Posted at 9:17 am in Barack Obama & Culture & Media & Society

Barack Obama is so thankful for his wife’s support during his campaign that he’s buying her a rare rhodium and diamond ring that costs $30,000. I love jewelry as much as the next girl, but this is a bit over the top. I know, it’s his money, so he can spend it as he [...]
