1. This, from a man who 'served' with a party that
spent $70 mil trying to connect a sitting president to ANYTHING crooked. And they will do so again with Obama.

7. Terry Pratchett had it right.
Some chief went to prison to see the prime minister and said, "Mate, your mob can
dig it all up and drop it over the edge of the world, no worries."'
'Why did he have to go to prison?'
'We put all our politicians in prison as soon as they're elected. Don't you?'
'Why?'
'It saves time.'
