Your bound to offend someone with any joke ever thought of..
For example, Even though this is funny- someone Might be offended somewhere- 14. A woman has twins, and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named 'Amal.' The other goes to a family in Spain, they name him Juan'. Years later; Juan sends a picture of himself to his mum. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wished she also had a picture of Amal. Her husband responds, ''But they are twins. If you've seen Juan, you've seen Amal.'' |

he said something like he was "declaring war on the pentagon." I know he used a variation of that language. When the pentagon was actually attacked, you'd think he'd be scrambling to apologize... *sigh* but of course not. It was simply never mentioned by the media again.

and the boss himself are staunchly anti-Obama. She brought a cake in to the office staff that I wish I'd taken a picture of. A simple chocolate cake with lots of icing and cherries on top, and the words "We Will Survive" in bold white letters.
Something inside me just wouldn't allow me to eat any of it. No doubt the boss would have asked me "Why aren't you having any cake?" if he hadn't been off hunting in Montana all week. Nothing like killing a few animals to make you feel better about losing an election. |

She supported W and McCain when I worked for her. I remember how happy and excited she was when McCain picked Palin.. I was too, but for a different reason (I knew he picked a loser.) Now I'm retired and she's my ex boss. We're still friends, but don't talk politics. Since I'm receiving Social Security and, now, Medicare, I guess President Obama is my boss now. Thank God, because the other guy would have fired me!
I love this cake, but not the "food stamp" reference, I think it feeds the crazies. Let's concentrate on real solutions like raising the minimum wage and universal health care so working people will no longer need food stamps to survive! My suggestion for the caption is "we all built it!" |

Last edited Thu Nov 8, 2012, 10:00 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1) The Governor of Idaho, Butch Otter, was being interviewed on tv on election night.
Just after NBC had called the state of Ohio for President Obama. Just to let you know what a frickin', king-sized super-dee-duper moron our Governor is, the news woman that he was talking with asked him what it would mean to Idaho, now that it seemed that President Obama had been re-elected. The interview took place only about 5 minutes after they had called the state of Ohio for President Obama. But, the Governor is such a ginormous moron, a frickin' lunatic, he just looked at her and said, "Well, NBC has been wrong before." But NBC wasn't the only network to call Ohio for President Obama. In fact, Faux Snooze and CNN had already called Ohio by then. Then the Governor went on to say that people should vote for Romney because he is so good at creating jobs, and he is such a great businessman, blah, blah, blah. But, by then, it was over. President Obama had won Ohio, he had been re-elected!! And I thought, Jesus Sesame, this Governor is an idiot! He might as well be sucking on the dick of a dead bull elephant! And then I realized . . he was!! |

In 1978. I think he was running for governor then.
I think people were smarter then. I'm pretty sure he lost. It seems that it was pointed out that he's J.R. Simplot's son in law. He may have been running for a different office (it was after all; a long time ago), but back then, it seems, politicians tied to big money was viewed as a bad thing. Isn't J.R. Simplot the 'Idaho Potato' giant? |
