How about this. This seems like a new thing. It is shiny but you can't tell what it is. I believe it to be a Bouncy or ... maybe even a stretchy but because it has no obvious ending I don't know what to call it!
A Bretchy with no punch line. How about that?

How Do You Walk? Doesn’t Carrying All That Stupid Around Weigh You Down?
A close friend of mine works at a large company in Southern California that seems to be staffed with mostly hard-core, right wing Bushies. The kind of person that tries very hard to parrot Hannity talking points, but can’t quite get them out; so when something close to a talking point comes out of their mouth, they become very proud of themselves. “Well, the weapons were moved to Syria!†they will say with a smug look that says, “Ha! Trump card, got you there!â€
I do know these people myself and have had a few discussions about what’s happening in the world. Most of the discussions consisted of the Right-Winger saying things like, “But Clinton!†after I went through a litany of criminal offenses committed by Bush. At this business location it usually doesn’t take more then a couple of days before you’ll hear the brilliant phrase, “We need to just nuke ‘em.†or some semblance of that expression. To which I started replying, “Wow, you are an amazing tactician, there is NO WAY I can poke a hole in that ingenious argument. You’ve covered all the bases and all eventualities. My God, it’s the country’s loss that you haven’t been tapped for Secretary of State!†To which they usually smile and start to realize, (I hope) how moronic they sound.
Now, my friend is always out numbered when arguing politics with these people, sometimes six to one, as was the case yesterday. He called me up to vent because the argument went on such a long time and covered a large spectrum of the world’s problems. Prop 8, they would say, “The gays are causing AIDS.†Obama: “He’s a Muslim.†The government: “We’re a Christian nation.†The war: “We were attacked.†The economy: “The illegals caused this… them and the unions.†Now, these are all middle class people who are fighting their hardest to make sure that their standard of living goes down and the ultra-rich continue to get richer. They will call themselves patriots but have no clue about our history or what goes into making a country. They are as proud of their ignorance as a six year old is of their first hand turkey painting. They are bigoted but claim to be enlightened. And they are today’s remaining Republican base.
Maybe the fact that the OP has a low post count explains it. It doesn't know how to 'close' the deal here. Would someone with a mole please go ask this DUmass to finish the tale so we can vote on this nonsense?
Thanks!
