To Be Fair
...Jimmy had Billy...
...and I have Bingley. So cut the Messiah a huss. You can't pick your relatives.
Barack Obama's 'lost' brother found in Kenya
The Italian edition of Vanity Fair said that it had found George Hussein Onyango Obama living in a hut in a ramshackle town of Huruma on the outskirts of Nairobi.Mr Obama, 26, the youngest of the presidential candidate's half-brothers, spoke for the first time about his life, which could not be more different than that of the Democratic contender.
"No-one knows who I am," he told the magazine, before claiming: "I live here on less than a dollar a month."
"One dollar, Louis!"

Obama wants to take our money to help others, but he won't even give his own flesh and blood twelve dollars and double his annual income.
The more we learn of Obama, the more McCain is starting to look good.

Looks like Pops was droppin' dick-weeds all over the place, huh?

I expect George to be in Denver next week, as an special superdelegate for the Dhimmicratic Convention.
Living in a very expensive hotel room, of course, and paid for by the DNC.

Just like the old adage, if you want to look thinner hang out with fatter people.

No sh*t, Skyler. How sorry is that? I mean, I'd even give Bingley the twelve bucks if I thought it'd help.

It wouldn't. He'd just spend it on Thunderbird.
Speaking of Bingley, where is he? Honkin' around with Conchita again?

He's probably happier living there so B.O. isn't coming down on him about turning down his thermostat.
Ken--sibs don't let sibs drink Thunderbird. :)

I agree, Kate. Everclear has more hangovers per bottle, and you can flavor it anyway you want to, unlike Thunderbird.

"...but lemme post one teensie Hasselhoff picture and it's like the world's ending."
That's cuz Hickelldork is the Anti-Christ redux. Or maybe just the role model for Britney and Lilo.
If those positions aren't morally equivalent, I mean.
