    Stick with me Mr. Speaker. It’s a set of tubes and information goes through it and reaches potential voters.

    The toilets were only this big.

    There’s something very important I forgot to tell you! Don’t cross the streams… It would be bad… Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.


  7. - VanillaMan - Wednesday, Jul 11, 18 @ 3:17 pm:

    If the room lights were off, leaving only my hands lit, you’d see a bird on the wall behind me.”

    Yes, my sister did teach me how to catch a baseball. Why do you ask?”

    That? No, that web site is based on 1990s technology. We are trying for at least 2010.


  11. - Archpundit - Wednesday, Jul 11, 18 @ 3:19 pm:

    You have been doing it that way for how long?

    Noted.

    I used to play ball with Barack at the East Bank Club. Always passed him the ball right where he wanted it, to his left. Dude always went left, couldn’t go right to save his life. He also never passed the ball. I’d scream, “yo, Barack, pass the damn ball,” but he always shot it. Obama was a total chucker.

  43. - 47th Ward - Wednesday, Jul 11, 18 @ 4:19 pm:

    Well Mike, with your approval rating hovering somewhere in the low 20s, it’s going to be a heavy lift. But when you add in Rahm’s numbers plus J.B.’s numbers so far, wow, we’re talking really heavy lift. Like Falcon Heavy kind of lifting, you feel me?


  44. - Man with a plan - Wednesday, Jul 11, 18 @ 4:23 pm:

    Hadoken!


  45. - I Miss Bentohs - Wednesday, Jul 11, 18 @ 4:26 pm:
