She was sterilized before her time.

that would be SO COOL! i could commit murder and mayhem and could not be charged; after all, how can you try a dead person?

[American Veteran]

Did she have a coffin spell over this?

No big deal. Joe Biden has been brain dead for years and look where he is now.

I'll bet the database used by the IRS dosen't get hiccups.

Be careful what you say about Joe Biden, he's one felony job offer away from being president.

Smells like zombie discrimination to me. Time for a class action lawsuit.

Anytime there is a "database hickup" chances are it came from an un-authorized change.

It takes a village to raise a child, but an idiot to program a database.

Joe Biden is the gift that keeps on giving, God love him. That frenzied, staring grin, the hair plugs, the idiotic gaffes...

...and the Democrats aren't getting any better...NOT that the Republicans are any good at all, but christ, give the libs enough rope to hang themselves and SEE how quickly they oblige you.
