Does anyone have anything for a sore back?

I warn you, I’m in a mood. Read at your own risk. If you are easily offended by political talk, stop reading now.

Bill Clinton, put that finger away before you poke someone’s eye out. Seriously, we all know you’d love to be President again, but if I have to look at one more photo of you wagging that finger at someone, I’m going to scream.

I think it is just wonderful that John McCain campaigns with his granddaughter at his side. She’s always smiling and so happy to be there. So supportive.
What? That’s his wife? Are you sure? Oops, honest mistake.

Wow, out of curiosity, and to make sure she really wasn’t McCain’s granddaughter, I just consulted the trusty Wikipedia. Here’s what I learned:
In 1989, Cindy McCain became addicted to opioid painkillers such as Percocet and Vicodin,[24] which she initially took to alleviate pain following two spinal surgeries for ruptured discs[25][26] and to ease emotional stress during the Keating Five scandal,[24] which involved her as a bookkeeper who had difficulty finding receipts.[14] The addiction progressed to where she resorted to stealing drugs from her own AVMT.[25] During 1992, Tom Gosinski, the director of government and international affairs for AVMT, discovered her drug theft.[27] Subsequently in 1992, her parents staged an intervention to force her to get help;[14] she told her husband about her problem, attended a drug treatment facility, began outpatient sessions, and ended her three years of active addiction.

---I’m sure the democrats will have fun with this leading up to November. Grandpa lived with a drug addict for 3 years and never noticed. And whoever came up with the line, "...a bookkeeper who had difficulty finding receipts.", I salute you. Way to turn a phrase.

Speaking of drug addicts,

The Oxy-moron strikes again:
On the April 1 edition of his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh said of a potential Hillary Clinton presidency, "[Y]ou have to understand the mindset of a lot of these feminists and women. They think they're owed this -- just like Obama supporters think they're owed this." Limbaugh continued: "These women have paid their dues. They've been married two or three times; they've had two or three abortions; they've done everything that feminism asked them to do. They have cut men out of their lives; they have devoted themselves to causes and careers. And this -- the candidacy of Hillary Clinton -- is the culmination of all of these women's efforts." He further stated: "And if it gets stolen from them, in their minds -- not actually stolen, but if the country or if the Democrat [sic] Party rejects this wonderfully great, lying woman in exchange for a rookie, radical black guy who can't tell the time of day, they are going to be so miffed. They are going to be so upset."

---and I’m picturing people nationwide listening to this and not finding anything wrong with it. What a country.

I was thinking about discussing the “torture memo” but I think I’ll save that for another day.

Let’s end with an easy riddle: Q: How do you know when Bush is lying. A: His lips are moving.
