Right on.
I think I could tape your A-Z verse to my wrist and debate Mitt myself. With a little help from Biden, “That’s a bunch of malarky!” and simply recite one of your A-Z verse’s and a little nose thumbing monkey shines should precipitate one of his super-silly-ous remarks; “Where’d all this water come from?” Huh? OMG! Oh well, it is what it is.
“Yes we can!” and we will, especially with Mitt and the Boy-Kid shoot’n themselves in the foot every time they lie.
What about the Boy-Kid’s class pictures? Ask your self this question, do I want this guy as a potential President of the Unites States? Tell the truth now!
Love y’all, Obama-Biden all the way!!!
Think you could turn this into song?
Hmm. Who was it who wanted to ditch Big Bird? …
Here is a quandary; can we save Sesame Street without the Alphabet?
Am sending Mad’s exquisite Alpha Verse around. A-Z hooked most topical issues impeccably, even elegantly. Here’s my 2 kopeks~~Could “F” be for 47%? If “C” is for cuts [tax], then “T” could be for Tea Pty…birthers & truthers & “Welchers”? We need to honor the Welchers [Jack & Co’s paranoia of BLS unemployment #s]. This was Shrum’s suggestion & most of us are vomitville w/conservative paranoia about polls & other figures being fuddled w/…ALL OF A SUDDEN [but not under Bush or before]. Call ’em what they are.
This is fabulous! Must admit, my favorite is `V’
HAHAHA . . . very impressive! Well done (as always)!
Thanks so much everyone for your enthusiastic comments. I’m so glad you liked it!
