I splurged on dinner too last night, bacon(mmm) and french toast. I cooked.
What a disgrace, we can't afford $1 cheezeburgers, and this crook is raking it in and eating like royalty every freaking day. I'm gonna go cry and or puke now.
2012 can't come fast enough.
PS: hope your toe is better, Adrienne.
Can you explain to me what a Wall Street type is doing giving money to an idiot tanking our economy?
Randy - Baaaaaaacoooooooooon!!!!!!!Bacon! Bacon! Bacon! Be still my beating heart...
Bunni - I.Can. Not. Stand. Those. People. Pigs (no offense to any pigs intended or implied.)
Odie - there is not much of anything that I can explain anymore. The world is down the hole with Alice IYKWIMAITYD.
Obviously there were no children present because they are not allowed by the First Woman to eat such unhealthy food.
You don't understand, Adrienne, austerity is for the little people. The Obamas deserve to eat that kind of food, to jet around on the public dime, and then to lecture the rest of us about how we eat and how we travel. They really are just better than us, as we bitterly cling to our religion, our livelihoods, and our quaint little customs.
No bacon on that menu? Isn't worth the time, and definitely not the money.
