  Perhaps he was suggesting Americans are performing some sort of fellatio on their royalty

Notice has been given to America. Prince George is wearing Bart Simpson's scalp.

  We've started wars with royal George's for less.

    And they no less the same - ie. The War of Jenkin's Ear.

      To be fair, that damn ear had it coming.

        Mark Antony was smart enough to ask for the loan of an ear.

On June 13, Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, wrote her and Secretary of State John Kerry asking why Abedin, the deputy chief of staff at the State Department under former Secretary Hillary Clinton, was granted status as a "special government employee" after the birth of her son.
That title allowed her to work from home as a part-time consultant to State, earning $135,000 as a government employee -- while also earning $355,000 as a consultant for Teneo, where former President Bill Clinton is a board member.

Sweet!

  What difference, at this point, does it make?

  Once again the Republicans continue their "War on Women" who just want to help the US government by taking advantage of the revolving door between government and crony industry which has made some people lots of money.

  Why did I go into state instead of Federal service? I can't even break six figures without becoming a division leader.
  
  /sigh

  Seems like a lot of money, but as Hillary's "Lady of the Bedchamber" you either talked to Huma or felt the wrath of the Queen. So I'm sure she was worth every penny they paid her, and more.

Needs more labels. Specifically the kind that only appears when you hover your mouse over the picture.

Why is Krang wearing a crown?
1. SugarFree 12 years ago
  
  Because all the libertarians at TReason voted for Kodos.
  1. Floridian 12 years ago
    
    I thought krang was from TMNT
    1. Auric Demonocles 12 years ago
      
      SugarFree is an uneducated prole who things Kang and Krang are the same thing.
      1. SugarFree 12 years ago
        
        Kraang may be from TMNT, I'm not sure who this "Krang" character is.
        
        I was merely making a joke and Cdr's spelling might have just been a typo, but you two--for not knowing the right spelling before correcting me--have made utter fools of yourselves. Shame to you both. SHAME!

        I'm sorry sir. I will adjourn to my flogging chamber to punish myself.

  "Defenders of political appointments argue that the ambassador's job has been diminished by modern communications that make it easy for presidents to stay in touch with foreign leaders."
  
  Hard to debate that kind of logic.

Labels, hell. Most people would need a footnote to understand what the man's saying.

The British collectively are the equivalent of the "Trayvon was murdered" crusade.

If they were here, dumbass americans would be talking about them instead of teaching capitalism.

Just look at great Britain at any time since the early 1900s and you have a blue print of what the US will look like at 20 years from that point in history.

As impossible as it should be, our royalty is a lot uglier, too. Just ask Amanda Bynes.
