Sorry, we already have a monarch. He’ll have to fight Queen Elizabeth II for the privilege.

What? You thought those ‘tiger cages’ at Rideau Hall were originally installed for Adrienne Clarkson’s peacocks? We knew something like this was going to happen eventually.

He just beat Hillary Clinton for the nomination. You really think an 82 year old welfare mom is gonna be a problem? I say Barack, 3rd round, and that’s with a handicap.

“Obama Sucks!” seems just annoying and jerkish, and now that I’m seeing Obama everywhere I’ll have to fall back on my first choice of candidate.

I feel like such a tool following the crowd, but for Mr. Obama, I’m willing to make the sacrifice.

It may be following the crowd, but then again it’s a crowd I rather like.

An 82-year-old welfare mom… with her own army. And navy. And air force. Whatever she speaks is by definition a language. 😃
