Bam Bam has Tiny Tim tiptoeing through the securities and Wilma through the dimplomats! Blame professulas whose posh pensions graze on stumbent loan interest from vacuous degrees in basket weaving commie nutty organizing. Turn grant grubbing blatherers into fuel, especially perverts like mayor crotch who gas for obsama zbin biden. Your islamosympathic gutterswabbing clothing and pierced privates spread diesease. If you weren't such baby killing, vermin snuggling perverts you wouldn't be driving up our health costs, then collecting disability for your commie nutty organizing dementia. Your passive aggressive labor unions grab our guns, cars (congestion pricing), balls (SONDA), wallets, and homes but we will grab your throats and dang you from trailer bone tolls. Apply Sarbanes Oxley to non-profits! Repeal the seventeenth amendment before any VAT. All the homeless are drugged out hippies. Second Amendment is the ONLY Homeland Security. Wait until we waste all your stumbent subprimes, so you need to sell your affectation glutton art and work instead of diverting tuition and Y2K scams to soviet freezeniks! Deport for multiple visits to same country. If you controlled your own pension neither your boss nor the government could abuse it. Lynch soviet wealth fund abetting aghadhimmic peakies when oil plummets! Parasites complain about salaries but pig out with benefits. Global warming is a grant grubbing extortion racket. Urban sprawl annoys terrorists. Hazards and pollution stem mostly from mandates. Aqua volte!

One night as he is sitting at the computer, she goes into the bedroom, takes off all her clothes, puts on a full length fur coat and she posts herself between her husband and his monitor. She pulls open the jacket and yells, "Time for Super Sex"!!!!!. <BR/>He ignores her. So, she repeatedly yells, "Super Sex" "Super Sex" "Super Sex". <BR/>Finally, he replies, "Ok, I'll take the soup."MSchenklerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12181091430272235197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323399549455572965.post-64157442421261553072008-11-26T13:23:00.000-05:002008-11-26T13:23:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.MSchenklerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12181091430272235197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323399549455572965.post-13695961097847182932008-11-26T11:37:00.000-05:002008-11-26T11:37:00.000-05:00I was never as impressed with this Donovan's as I ...I was never as impressed with this Donovan's as I am by the one in Woodside.

As a strong candidate to unseat Sears, one of the self-serving councilmembers who voted herself a four-year term extension, Dromm will have to take on the Queens Democratic Couny Organization which has taken him in and been supportive of his efforts. We're not sure that Dromm has the Monserrate gene or is more of the go-along to get along type. It is a tough decision for the borough's leading gay advocate. The decision is complicate by the announced candidacy of Alfonso Quiroz, another strong gay, seemingly well-financed candidate, who has vowed to challenge Sears. Either Dromm or Quiroz could pose a formidable threat to the Sears tenure. If both run, Sears could probably waltz home. But word has it that she wants the seat for her son Stuart. He's no match for Dromm or Quiroz. So Helen may likely run again and unless one of the other two blink, Queens may not be electing their first openly official.MSchenklerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12181091430272235197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323399549455572965.post-4638669894012390222008-11-15T22:45:00.000-05:002008-11-15T22:45:00.000-05:00First looking to Queens, you can't rule out Anthon...First looking to Queens, you can't rule out Anthony Weiner in spite of the Schumer carbon copy concerns. Greg Meeks is a strong choice. While Latina Nydia Velazquez may fit the desired profile, there have to be concerns about her really being able to delver for the troubled Empire State. Queens native Andrew Cuomo is a powerhouse as is neighboring Nassau County's Exec Tom Suozzi. And then there are the moments that David Paterson will explore the mechinism of getting himself appointed to the U.S. Senate which seems a lot freer of headaches than the job of the Governor of a State with deficits in the billions, a dysfunctional legislature and Shelly Silver and a Democratic Senate that can;t shoot straight. Senator Paterson? It could be the best Executive decision he'll ever make.MSchenklerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12181091430272235197noreply@blogger.com
