LOL! That was a good one! This was one of my faves:

Has anyone in the valley thought to actually open a gym called "Golden Pilates"? Sounds like it could be a hit with the locals!

Re: How Mormon is Mitt Romney?
Last election there was a joke that Mitt Romney the Mormon was the only actual monogamist among the GOP candidates. So I guess he's not totally Mormon.

Never the less,
Mitt is so Mormon…
that if elected, the “First Lady” will be known as the “First Wife.”
was very funny!
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

Repetition of the four-word conclusion after every claim or statement is a clear demonstration that the four words are suspect. Was this supposed to be an attack on Mitt’s religiosity or an affirmation of it? Or, is this just entertainment?

Newt Gingrich’s wife could be known as Third Wife. Maybe Newt’s a secret Mormon.
