No, she wasn’t assaulted by an irate Obama supporter. Good. Bad for McCain, good for the poor schlub who might have been dragged in for questioning. Idiot woman.

The victim of this assault will probably recover fully and without scarring. If there is a persistent scar there is hope that with proper treatment that it can be faded or altered in such a way as to make it almost unnoticeable.

For about 5 years, I’ve been trying to get my wife to clean out her side of the closet. I’ve done it myself several times which pissed her off so badly that she yelled at me for days, […]
