8 years ago tonight

I was lucky enough to convince Mrs. Smithers to marry me.

I can sell ice to Eskimos!

Jimmer, that’s wrong…

I know getting beat in the A Race can be hard on the moral, but these kids did not deserve this.

Good start though!

What do you call it…

…when a governor taxes a product produced in that state, a tax that is essentially passed on by business to those consumers who buy that product throughout the rest of the country, and disburses those tax revenues to every citizen of that state?

Some might call it “The redistribution of wealth.”

I call it Sarah Pallin’s $6 billion Alaskan oil rebate that provides $3269 to every citizen of Alaska.

I’ll also go ahead and call it more total and complete hypocrisy on the part of conservatives.

But the real question is: Can you call it TEH SOCIALISM!?
