Re: “Confusion?”  Not When It Comes to Your Vote to End Medicare As We Know It

“On the table.”  “Off the table.”  “Absolutely not.”  No “Grand Slam.”  “Singles.”  “Doubles.”

There appears to be a lot of “confusion” coming from your side of the aisle, but there is one thing you can be certain of: your vote to end Medicare as we know it is anything but confusing to the American people.

Have a good weekend.

Friday Funnies: Bin Laden Lunchtime Edition

  As you can guess, the late-night talk show hosts had a field day with Bin Laden jokes, as did the political cartoonist. A few of them are below. It is lunchtime on the East Coast. Eat and get a laugh.

David Letterman: "The Republicans are so happy about bin Laden they've granted President Obama full citizenship."

"How about those Navy Seals. We're getting our money's worth there. They broke into Osama bin Laden's compound with 12-foot walls topped by barbed wire, and fired a warning shot into his head."

"There's already been some trouble for Osama bin Laden in the afterlife. There was a mix up and he was greeted by 72 vegans."

Jimmy Kimmel:  "After all the talk about caves, bin Laden was hiding in a million-dollar mansion in Pakistan. The CIA became suspicious when they learned there was a million-dollar mansion in Pakistan."

"Osama bin Laden, as we speak, is living with Spongebob in a pineapple under the sea."

"He's up to 2,000 friends on Shot In The Facebook."

Jay Leno:  "Bin Laden was buried at sea. Or as Dick Cheney calls it, 'the ultimate waterboarding.'"

"Osama bin Laden was apparently shot twice in the face. It looks like Dick Cheney may have been involved."
