Where’s Michele Bachmann?

^You DO see the “circle”?

Musical bull pies.

And it ain’t gonna change. Both parties serve up a lot of cow dung, but the Teapublicans serve it up in elephant-size piles.

Pass the popcorn, there’s still 14 months to go. LOL!

Debates on TV is nothing but a side show. I prefer that the candidates just stumped like they used to and offered their plans and platforms.

It is either a “circle jerk” or “jerks in a circle”.

And what are conservatives calling them?

In ancient and medieval bestiaries, the beasts described were considered to be either metaphors for human virtues or vices, or opportunities for parables on the same.

There is a beast from medieval mythology called a “bonnacon” — it is described as being much like a bull, with the mane of a horse. It is described as: “It has horns that curve back so they are useless for fighting; when attacked, it runs away, while releasing a trail of dung that can cover three furlongs. Contact with the dung burns pursuers as though they had touched fire.”My conclusion from the two facts above: That Pliny the elder and subsequent scholars found the absolutely perfect description of politicians.

Since they’re all white, there isn’t any real way to bring race into the question.When Clinton was running last election, the Republicans were certainly bringing gender into the question. (Odd how that disappears for one of their own…)But the main point is — it doesn’t matter how “civil” they all are, if they are all still spewing bullcrap.
