I just discovered this group. The Snowden BS is really getting me down. There sure are some pitbulls around here - especially in the GD. I voted in our little poll also. Same thing with JFK, although I was a freshman in high school. Remember teachers crying and watching our b&w TV. The broadcast was in b&w anyway.

One of my grandsons is biracial and was here on election night in 2008. The three of us (Pa, Mimi and Scott) were all in tears. Ok, they were misty eyed, I was outright sobbing.

One of the best nights of my life. Little did I know what was to come. So much good* (caution swear word below), with so much crap like the Tea Party, BP, Japan, mass shootings, Trayvon, Gabby, etc - all PBO's fault of course.

Yep, our man could walk on water and he'd get blamed for getting government socks wet! http://whatthefuckhasobamadonesofar.com

The bolded text is really funny, in my opinion. nt ZombieHorde Aug 2013 #1
