In reply to the discussion: Why should we vote for a candidate with LESS of a chance to win the GE? [View all]Divernan
(15,480 posts)36. You are most welcome. Merry Christmas/Joyous Festivus, etc.
The most recent changes, in particular the thought of Trump or Hillary in the Oval Office, scare the shit out of me!

Ready with a handshake and an open palm

Two percent for looking in the mirror twice
Here a little slice. There a little cut
Three percent for sleeping with the window shut.

How it all increases
All those bits and pieces
Jesus! It's amazing how it grows!
