Question of the day
Thursday, Nov 15, 2012 - Posted by Rich Miller * I was at the Prairietown “World’s Fair” over the summer and ran into Republican congressional candidate Rodney Davis and Democratic state Senate candidate Andy Manar. I’ve known both men for years and asked them to pose together for a bipartisan photo, on the condition that it not be published until after the election… Both went on to win their respective elections. * The Question: Caption?

The one thing Davis and Manar can agree on:
No pictures …with RICH MILLER …before the election.

from the desk of CRAZY REPUBLICAN BLOGGER AND GADFLY (insert name here) it is because of the fact that Republicans posed for pictures with Democrats and that evil Rich Miller is why we lost.
We must be more strident in our feelings that government is bad and everyone else is lazy to counter this evil.

It needs a logo as well and not the site logo, like the word Rich with a beard beneath it or something.

No, no, Willy. To fit the new profile and pattern, you simply have to have an unstable sibling (preferably one who is even better “endowed,” (but a twin is best)) just in case you are caught and need a scapegoat.
While you may not have such a sibling, I understand you have a very evil persona named “Wily.”
That may do, so I wouldn’t apologize unless absolutely necessary.

Definitely get the hat with your name on it, Rich, ala Ernie Banks. Helps you to remember who you are when you get old enough to forget or if you get lost.

Wily, while a nice Fella, we currently are not speaking. Wily, if you are reading this … “The Cat walks silently on the Fence” … sorry, I just wanted to let Wily “know”… its ok.

This picture was taken “pre-Steak Smoothie” and you can tell by their happy faces!
