MSNBC, Obama is a god, bow to his image and perform the pieties.

Naw, I’m not the comic book guy – just some schlepp from north of the 49th parallel (just like Jim Carrey [And the incredible Leslie Neilsen, who by the way is brother of the former Deputy Prime Minister of Canada]).

Is Pelosi’s

#17 BLE “We report, you disperse”
#23 Ivan Counterclockwise News Network-Everything we do turns left.
#135 Shiner CNN: Last place, and smug about it!
#163 Butters Dad CNN-We jump the shark every hour, on the hour.
