An Ever So Slightly Kinder, Gentler Post — Except Where it Can’t be….

I never give them [the public] hell. I just tell the truth, and they think it is hell. — Harry S. Truman

If you don’t like what you’re doing, you can always pick up your needle and move to another groove! – Timothy Leary

Is this a great country or what? White trash crackers abuse teen age lesbians. Truly, the scum also rise….

You knew it: This Pope loves him his child molesters.

This is confusing: Times says Stupak was hugely popular in his district, sure to have been reelected yet finds all these people to slam him. So which is it, Times, popular or not?

Translation: You’d have to be a complete idiot to buy a Verizon iPhone.

KFC admits its deadly sandwich is awfully unhealthy.
