Eek! Scronsevatives Are Being Scroogled!!
ABOVE: Ben Howe, Diarist at Red Face
Shorter Ben Howe, Red State
Google: The Democrat’s [sic] Private Intelligence Agency
- Google is reading my mail so that it can force me to vote for Democrats.
The “diarists” over at Red State, kindly put, can’t figure out how to flush a toilet without an instruction manual and hot hunky tower of manliness Ben Howe is no exception. (Actually, Ben would probably need to have the instruction manual read to him.) Even so, Ben’s notion that Google is reading his email and his attempts on Google Docs to write Hunger Games fanfic as part of some giant conspiracy to keep the Kenyan usurper in the White House really takes Red State diarist stupidity to a new level.
Remember that enormous, sophisticated data operation the Obama campaign had? The one that gave them massive daily data on public opinion trends in almost every segment of potential voters.
It’s almost as if Democrats had access to some sort of huge database of real time information about what the public was reading or writing online. The kind of breathtakingly large, real-time data that could be used for real-time trend analysis, predictive modeling and even behavioral manipulation.
Now if you think Ben is going to pause even a nanosecond between “it’s almost as if” and “it’s an absolute fact,” you have seriously underestimated him.
Now, combine Obama’s political campaign with Google’s near-comprehensive real-time data and the left’s behavioral analysis. What do you get? Beat.
You see Romney didn’t lose because he wanted to cut Medicare so his buddies could buy bigger yachts. No, he lost because he got scroogled. The almighty Google read everyone’s Gmails so that the company could turn all its Gmail users, who otherwise would definitely have voted for Romney, into mindless Obamatons who stood in line for hours to carry out commands from Great Google and the Negro Usurper.
I suppose this is not much dumber than saying that Obama won because he gave all the darkies Obama phones or because Hurricane Sandy blew all the Romney voters into the basement of a split-level in Montauk and trapped them there until the election was over.
what ho?
GOOOOOOOOOOGLE!!!!
Not much dumber, but the further you plunge into the cesspit of dumb the more phenomenal incremental shifts downward appear to be. It should have drowned to death by now. It’s zombie stupid. It’s the ghost of stupid stupid. It’s stupid’s stupid stupid.
so that the company could turn all its Gmail users, who otherwise would definitely have voted for Romney, into mindless Obamatons who stood in line for hours to carry out commands from Great Google and the Negro Usurper.
i know for a fact that a certain subtance mcgravitas (and really? is that his real name?) uses gmail…therefore, he’s the reason the usurper won and we can’t have nice things…why does he hate america?
Because he’s a goddamn Canuck, that’s why!
Now, combine Obama’s political campaign with Google’s near-comprehensive real-time data and the left’s behavioral analysis. What do you get? Beat.
Oh yeah, it has NOTHING to do with running shitty candidates and shitty platforms that people don’t vote for.
It’s zombie stupid. It’s the ghost of stupid stupid. It’s stupid’s stupid stupid.

Hey…while it’s just us gals here I just wanna take a page out of Ann Romney’s book and say
I LOVE YOU WOMEEEEEN!!!!
oooh…it is just us girls here, isn’t it? and now that i think about it, the women of newsradio didn’t get all weird and stuff after the show’s run…what’s up with that? i think we all know the answer…
Yes, because those other faceless global conglomerates will certainly not sell you out to the ebil gubmit. No sir, not those’ns, only this’n over here. Yep. True fact.
Brilliant, cogent analysis from the scholars at redstate, as usual.
Oh, sorry to bustup the girl fest, I’ll just hide over here on the opposite wall of the gym.

Muahahahahaaaaaaa!
Fuck, am I ever tired, eh?
The doctors hand out dexedrine like candy!
i personally lurve this line from ben:
On a completely unrelated note, former RNC eCampaign Director Michael Turk wrote Monday that “the frightening advantage the left has is in a less touted entity known as the Analyst Institute (AI) and a consortium of behavioral scientists” who are “concerned not only with your characteristics and voting behavior, but how they can manipulate that behavior.”
compleeeeeetely different than say…with how a wall street firm or other big corporate entity would conduct business…
Based on liquidone’s mastery of English spelling and grammar, I think he should be in charge of the next Orca. Should be epic.
i am really tired of hearing about the freaking asteroid…if we are going to be taken out in such a fasion, i surely don’t want to know about it ahead of time…i want to die just as i am…full of ignorance…
and that is one hell of a tagfail…

Yep. It’s not like they’re all soulless corporations, out to make as much profit as possible for their 1% owners, or anything. I mean, look, my iThingy doesn’t have any bookmarks for any wingnut sites, nor does my M$ Windows machine. It’s almost as though there were some entity controlling my intertubes behavior. Oh. Wait. It’s my brain. And my desire not to have to bleach it.
“concerned not only with your characteristics and voting behavior, but how they can manipulate that behavior.”
Wait, what? Teh Democratic Party took advice on how to increase the number of people voting for them? Are they allowed to do that?
They’re still working on “fire” and “the wheel”.

Oy vey, is it that time already?
After the election curb stomping and
the post-election mumbles of “Maybe we should find a darkie and … be nice to him, or something” and
the sudden discovery that they actually hated the candidate they spent two years fellating and he was way too liberal and
the realization that they didn’t do anything wrong, the Democrats cheated.
Comes the time to realize that there’s a bit more to the Internet than a porn and misinformed opinion dispenser.
But like the darkies and the craptastic candidate and the cheating Democrats, they couldn’t fix the problem if they tried, because not only do they not know what they’re talking about, not only can they not understand the problem, but they lie to themselves about what little they do understand of the problem.
And even the ones who briefly come up with hilariously impossible solutions (we’ll make our own internet!) will ultimately decide that everything is just so unfair and unreasonable and it is the liberals fault a man can’t buy his own internet because all of the money went to welfare queens.
And then it will be time to tongue bathe the NEXT great white dope.

Want to hear something more disgusting than the Paronychia (pronounced paranoika (nail destroyuh)) I had drained today at an urgent care center?
Sure ya’ do. Some nutball writer in Foreign Policy magazine said that George W. Bush might be the most humanitarian president EVER. I told him to get a job. Enough pus to fill New Orleans and Iraq would not be enough to express how disgusting it is to say that George W. Bush was a humanitarian at all, much less the best EVER. That also deserves a “Go ahead and suck him off, already.”
Oh Lard, I’m laughing very hard about the analrapist, Dr. Ken (if that’s your real name). Hope you’re arting around.
HEY, Tigris. Looking good tonight, sis.
It’s the duct tape, really classes the girls up.
wiley, the humanitarian quote doesn’t surprise me at all. I mean, there are some conservatives who claim he’s one of our greatest presidents. Honestly, I think this is all “LA LA LA I CAN’T HEEEEAR YOU!’ bluster because they know deep down what a miserable failure he is. They know what a loser he is. And nobody wants to known for supporting a LOSER.
I’ve been arting a lot. Just uploaded a new piece today. Thanks for axing!

That’s what I was wondering, MK. Last I checked GWB wasn’t a real conservative.
Just shoot me now please.
I take it the science requirements at Columbia have been softened.
A few years back, I was interviewed by an NPR staffer while at one of the monthly science lectures I attend at a bar. After entertaining a few questions from her, I asked her if she had taken any science courses while in college and she answered me “Nay.” I asked her why she didn’t at least take one of the “Physics for Poets” classes that are invariably offered and she told me, “I didn’t want to take any classes that were watered down.” I think I could have been heard the next block over when I snapped, “You didn’t want to take anything watered down SO YOU DIDN’T TAKE ANYTHING AT ALL?!!?!?”
Face meet palm, I’ll leave it to you good people to ponder whose palm it was.
So they’re back to liking GWB after spending the last 4 years pretending he never existed?
Some of them always did.
Actually, I shouldn’t act superior…I never took a college science course either. At that place and time, if you had a non-techie major, a couple of math classes and you were cool. Now I’m wishing maybe I had.

I’ve always thought of Wall Street and its equivalents like the City as the white collar version of the mob, and the mob as the underworld’s version of Wall Street. Same basic people, whether or not they’re actually in cahoots with each other – but Wall Street operates several levels of “untouchable” higher than even the biggest mob bosses ever will.
About those examples of Taibbi’s? Neither Capone nor Escobar were ever in the position the current banksters are in. Capone owned one city, Escobar owned one third world country, but that’s orders of magnitude smaller than the United States, so, when the political will in Washington developed to do something about them, something was done. As long as there’s a bigger fish, there’s a chance that the little ones will be cut down to size. Wall Street, though, pretty much owns the United States, government included, so there really isn’t a bigger fish. Last time, it took near-revolutionary conditions to jerk them into line, and even then, I don’t think many of them were ever prosecuted. (Was there even one?)
And oh yeah, Nixon. Not only were there unusual conditions – really high level of public anger, the improbable break of actually finding tapes that incriminated him – but all of Washington fucking hated the prick. Democrats for obvious reasons, but Republicans too – the moderate wing thought he was an antiliberal demagogue who hated their guts, the conservative wing thought he was a big-spending liberal statist. No one in Washington was sorry to see him go, which I think is probably one of the biggest reasons Watergate turned out like it did. And please note that even with all these things arrayed against him, Nixon still escaped justice – he was pardoned and got to simply retire. Justice just doesn’t work the same at that level.
Romney reminded me so much of Nixon. He was basically Nixon with inherited wealth and more self-confidence.
The fact is, listen up.
Wall Street creates jobs. banks create jobs. Governments don’t. Certainly not liberals with no idea of reality, they only create welfare dependentsies. Stop hating banks and Wall Street or they will take there money and invest it where people will work harder for it than you lazy liberals are triing to demogog everyone into people to strike, and unions. Thats job killing and you are unamerican for doing it.
Also, I don’t like gay people.
dependentsies
They’re like Depends, but small enough to slip into a pocket or purse.

It’s mango purée down there in the comments, as they thrash about in vain looking for the most conservative search engine.

say…what’s this i hear about a memory motel?
bbkf. Strawberries duly enjoyed in the springtime. Have now moved on to watermelon. Yum.
Hmmm. Sun-warmed blackberries.
Nope. Any woman exposing her boobs must be doing it for the purposes of shooting arousal and gratification rays at helpless men. The filthy Jezebel. Only exception – Feeding a baby, because under the Republican mindset a mom ceases to be sexually desirable after she’s had a child. Hence, the Republican male is allowed to acquire an upgrade.
That phrase was inserted (I bet you a zillion moolahs) to make sure men who have moobs bigger than my boobs can continue to go around topless.
Remember: Only the FEMALE BREAST is capable of destroying civilization.
The fact is, breasts are sexaly arousing and sex organs, therfore they must be kept inside clothing in decent places. Liberals think everything goes,witch is why we are moraly collapsing today

We must seize the sex organs of the state!
I say, I do quite enougn seizing of my sexual organs, thank you, we don’t have to branch out to the state’s.
Carpe mammalia!
No bet. Wonder what they’d do if a woman who’d had a double mastectomy and no reconstructive surgery showed up, flaunting her scars and all. Somehow, I think that would be beyond the pale, too.
Excellent question.
1. Concerned Women of America’s all-male cast of toxic fucknuggets would emerge to denounce the horrible woman for making light of breast cancer victims, repeat a few lies about birth control pills and then dive back into its collective asshole.
1a. Millions of sick fucktards devote massive amounts of time and energy trying to track down the woman, because nothing says brave like harassing a cancer survivor!
2. NC would tweak (ha ha) its legislation to forbid any woman from doing anything that might cause people to think about female tits as anything other than baby feeding devices or question whether we make too big a deal about female tits.
3. The Amalgamated Brotherhood of Boob Enhancers will express its concern that a large revenue stream might be constricted by waving large bags (hur) of cash in front of NC Lege.
4. An exception will be created that allows women to completely bare surgically enhanced breasts, provided they have the name of the implant manufacturer tattooed on the left breast and the name and phone number of their surgeon on the other.
OK, I got carried away. But 1 and 1a are sure bets as is further legislation because realizing they’re being unreformed dumb asses and just shutting up about tits is not an option!
Follow up question – This legislation is designed to stop protestors from showing their tatas. Doesn’t this expose (hur) the law to a 1st Am. challenge?
Sorry. This boob thing is really bothering me, especially since you know this shit is going to spread. Fuck improving the lives of our citizens, somewhere an innocent person might be violated by the thrusting female nipples of communism! Plus, it is another way we can oppress the uppity broads!
So anyway. Showing breasts in NC is now a CLASS H FELONY. A felony is never a good thing. But here are some examples of Class H felonies in NC:
You got that? Under criminal law in N.C. a woman who bares her breasts ranks up there with granny beaters, burglars and arsonists.
thrusting female nipples of communism!
i? w? n?
We believe in the socialist redistribution of thrusting female nipples.
The fact is scroogled has always been a leftist codeword for the socialest gay gungrabbing redistributionalist amnestizing abortionist traytors that inhabit the ilks of sadlyno!
That’s sick. But I’m pretty sure that woman baring her breasts is worse than a granny beater. She’s being all uppity, and that granny probably did something to deserve that disciplining.
I agree that 1 and 1a
are sure bets should a woman who’d had a double mastectomy show up, but I think 1 might become Escher-like, in that you’d have assholes trying to climb into asshole.
The proletariat must seize control of the means of reproduction!
The fact is, libtarts, we republican conserfatives have a firm grip on our meens of reproduction.

So the sequence of events runs like this:

(2). Republican campaign falls into humiliating pile of rubble. Wide-spread pointing and laughing.
(3). Howe stokes ressentiment amongst low-information Republican voters; encourages future campaigners to create in-house rivals of Google etc. and to give all their money to pirates.

Today’s bitching roundup :
1. Oscar Pistorius shot and killed his girlfriend. Damn, damn, damn. Don’t have an opinion yet on whether it was on purpose or mistaking her for an intruder, a common species in our country. Either way, damn, damn, damn. This man is/was a national sports hero, fer fk’s sake, like OJ was by you. The trial will be as big but I don’t think as divisive. Gawd, I hope not. Everyone I’ve seen is just all “Damn, damn, damn” and kicking the ground.
2. Hulu and Netflix and other streaming sites don’t do Africa, so how the hell am I going to see seasons 7 & 8 of Bones to which I have become adolescently addicted? Bits on YouTube is just not good enough, I say.
But they all agree that Tennessee the land of cross-eyed dumbfucks.
Unfortunately I have to work there. Memphis has the worst race relations of any place I’ve ever been, Cleveland and Detroit included.
Is Richardson any relation to Joe “Not that one, the Republican asshole” Walsh?
I see that Askey wrote the blog while he was in the U.S. And the uni’s only connection to that post is that it currently employs him. What a bunch of bullshit. Ditto the case of a Canadian company v. a U.S. librarian.
Looks like random lawsuits are the new business model for struggling companies. I do wish the reporter had taken five minutes to talk to a couple of attorneys. The reader is left with the impression that these lawsuits are anything other than really fucking pathetic.
Well of course AZ appeals found that guy guilty, his name is Hrach Shilgevorkyan. That’s almost as bad as being BLACK!
WIth a name like that, I imagine he was stroking a white angora cat when the constables caught up with him.

He seems to have been a bit of a loose cannon, if media reports about his home life are correct. It just goes to show you, it’s never a good idea to idolize someone just because they excel in a physical endeavor.

Does that include strippers?
In June 2012, Edwin Mellen Press’s founder, Herbert Richardson, issued a notice of action to Mr. Askey, suing him for more than $1-million. That same day, Herbert Richardson petitioned the court to change his name to “Barbara Steisand.”

So … Women who use the pill have the amazing power to shrug off what would make a non-pill user really sick or dead. ‘Cos your immune system reacts really badly to a foreign objects, which is what a dead fetus would be, never mind a whole mess of them.
In addition, their wombs must emit some protective substance that allows the fetuses to stay intact over years and years.

I failed to mention that expatshield goes through some contortions before it settles down. When it loads it finally lands on a page with a column of thumbnails. Once there you can click on any bookmark or enter any web address ie: bbc.co.uk and it will take you there. It provides you with a UK IP address only. It won’t help you with Netflix or Hulu. Anchorfree’s Hotspotshield will give you a US IP address. I think. The Anchorfree support page has a lot of answers. I like expatshield because I can watch bbc programing or download to the bbc iplayer weeks or years before it is available on PBS in the US.

According to my HS Jazz band conductor, that makes you a male.
She was convinced, and convinced many others, that men don’t listen to lyrics… or more precisely, that women listen more closely to the lyrics’ meaning than men.
And she was hot (and I possessed other qualities universal to teenage males), so I believed her.
And I started to listen to the lyrics.

And then there’s this old gem, for those who haven’t seen it before.
Worked like a charm, dinnit?
God I listen to lyrics. The endless drone of love songs makes me crazy sometimes. Of course, I was in my formative years when protest songs were all the rage so there was a reason to pay attention to the lyrics.
Besides, I’m an inveterate reader. Words are important to me.
Cord wrote my favorite commentary on modern country music.
NWA never went anywhere because the beats were pretty plain.
I started blocking out the lyrics after hearing
Every day a little sadder
A little madder

Hurt my brain, that did.
You have your ooooooowwwwn convertible
And a headband!
So who’s the chief murderer? Garth Brooks?
Fortunately, I forgot one day to block out the lyrics so I got to hear
Well I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison
And I went to pick her up in the rain
But before I could get to the station in a pickup truck
She got run’d over by a damned old train
According to that jazz band conductor, then, many people picking wedding songs were/are male. ISTR hearing that the most popular wedding song at one time was one of Sting’s, which was all about suicide, as I recall.

I attended a wedding where someone thought “Two Suns in the Sunset” – a song about nuclear war – was romantic.
Cardinal (get this!) ROGER:
Leveling the humiliation.
Yeah Sub, I remember that thread. RB was on fire.
Is it accurate to say country got watered down as much as it did because all of the people that got scared of pop when hip hop got added to the playlist switched to country stations, and began listening to and buying the music of anyone that sounded like the Eagles.
One theory is that the country folk wanted to prove they were all sofisticated and stuff and started prettifying the arrangements. I’ve heard Owen Bradley blamed for this but there were lots of unindicted co-conspirators. Later, certainly, the hats, with Garth leading them channeled the Eagles and made what is Nashville today.
I am not being called to serve Jesus in humility. Rather, I am being called to something deeper–to be humiliated, disgraced, and rebuffed by many.
OH BOO HOO. Yeah, see, you are NOT being humiliated for Christ’s sake, you are being vilified for knowingly protecting child rapists TO THE POINT OF ABETTING CONTINUED RAPE. Self-righteous halo buffer.
Fuck you, you arrogant piece of filth. How dare you think you’re winning celestial brownie points here? If you really believed in a God you’d crawl your ass into the deepest cave you could find and hope to avoid being made into a pillar of salt.
As it is, be grateful you live in a country of mostly civilized human beings. The fact that an angry mob hasn’t left your lightly roasted corpse hanging from a lamp pole says that unlike you, the people you’ve betrayed understand personal responsibility. Humiliation? You deserve to be flogged and pilloried.
But you know, as the country has moved away from direct adherence to religious principles, such punishments have died out. Lucky for you, eh?
For those of you who need a refresher (because keeping track of all of the miscreants in the Raped Children Corporation can be a challenge):
Yeah, this is one of the people who will help select the next pope. Seriously, I understand the need for some sort of spirituality in one’s life. But the R.C.C., really?
Thanks to God’s special grease, his fried chicken can’t be beat.
Hmm… Owen Bradley signed Conway Twitty…
Later, certainly, the hats, with Garth leading them channeled the Eagles and made what is Nashville today.
Someone described it to me as sounding like “Every bad Eagles song that never made it onto an album back in the 70s”.
To be honest with you, I have not reached the point where I can actually pray for more humiliation. I’m only at the stage of asking for the grace to endure the level of humiliation at the moment.
Silly cardinal, that’s what dominatrices are for.
A dominatrice is a woman who plays dominos quickly, right?

The guy seems unaccountably confident that enduring the level of humiliation is something that God intends him to go. Perhaps God’s Plan is for him to resign and adopt a false name and disappear from the face of the earth.

I really hope God’s plan for one of these hypocrites is to plead guilty and sing like a canary, in the hope of a reduced sentence. The catholic church has not shown any kind of willingness to clean its own house, perhaps they need some help.
Some research tells me that the leather sack with a dog, monkey, rooster, snake and scourged offender (the Cardinal might like that) tossed in the Tiber is associated with Quintus Cicero.
In RB’s defense, All Saints is frigging hawt.
Even if you don’t toss the sack in the river, sewing animals in a bag with a member of the Raped Children Corporation is unnecessarily cruel.

Bring on the hand crafted message for raping kids.
An artisanal message, in fact.
So for decades, in the US and across Northern Europe,* the Catholic hierarchy has worked to ensure that underlings enjoy the medieval tradition of Benefit of Clergy… ecclesiastic child-rapists should not be exposed to the secular legal system, but should be processed in-house under
canonSharia Law.This agitation about Islamification? All projection.
* Also presumably in Southern Europe, but we’re mainly hearing the stories about enslavement of young girls, infant abduction for sale, and castration of rape-reporting boys from northern countries where Catholicism is part of the establishment but not in a dominant position.
Planetary Gearbox has always struck me as a really dirty phrase.
It’s a human being! No, it’s an organ! No wait …
‘Cos you see, we’ll call the baby an organ and so the act of giving birth will be a major surgery, heh heh and then no one will be able to perform abortions outside of hospitals, even though throughout much of fetal development – particularly during the period when the vast majority of abortions (intentional and spontaneous) occur – there are a fuck of a lot of organs that are larger (also your skin – guess what THAT is), with a slight question mark for Ms. McClurkin, who may well have a brain that is smaller than a zygote.
Neither will we consider the fact that many women give birth outside of the hospital (see for example … all of history until quite recently and lots of places where electricity don’t run, and don’t expect any birthday cards from the American College of Nurse Midwives).
And what the fuck kind of statement is it that the doctor removes the baby, anyway? In an ideal vaginal birth, the doctor serves as a glorified catcher.
And please don’t point out that the decision to have an organ removed is completely without moral context so she just blew the shit out of the PRECIOUS HUMAN LIFE crapola. So, by calling it organ removal, most women would be asking a doctor to remove a snippet of skin, a procedure which – please take note Republican dumbfucks – would only done in the office under conditions that are less sterile than current standards call for.
Dear sweet Jesus. To paraphrase Sir Terry, watching Republitwats attempt to be clever is like watching a dog try to play the trombone.
But the “ideal birth” nowadays, at least as defined by the (still mostly male) MDs, is a C-section, scheduled ahead of time for the physician’s convenience. Never mind that each pregnancy is unique, and who knows what the child might be missing by skipping out on those last days/weeks of pregnancy? Not to mention putting the mother through unnecessary abdominal surgery.
The ideal birth.
I’ve heard of induced labor for parent convenience. (Which weirds me out but I don’t have kids so … Whatever?)
Elective c-sections (even by pt. choice) are still something ACOG isn’t crazy about, because there is a huge risk, not just then, but if the woman has a second pregnancy. (She might not be able to have a vaginal birth without a lot of risk.)
C-sections have become easier to perform as it possible to have the procedure without the need for general anesthetic. Ergo no pain associated with vaginal delivery, no episiotomy, but still it is a major surgery where vaginal birth is not.
I’m not saying it doesn’t happen, but if there are OBs out there saying “You have to have a c-section, for some non-medically necessary reason,” (or even “We’re going to induce labor on this date because I’m going on vacation”), their ass needs to be hauled before a medical board, the same as the doctor who says “You need to have a stent,” when the patient doesn’t.
p.s. Apologies to any guys who are now curled up making “Eew, shaddupshaddupshaddup!” noises.
Here is a link featuring a hot babe to take your minds off the subject.
I kind of like them cold from the fridge the next morning.
I was expecting “Baby’s on Fire”.
Ah. Induced, had forgotten about that. Mom had an emergency C-section for my sister (it was 1962, Mexico City, they thought the baby was in distress – and it might have been a boy. So my sister was delivered about a month premature, and the first time Mom saw her she had a bandage on her ear). She had a massive scar on her absomen, and my brother also had to be delivered via C-section. Scheduling still makes me wonder – I still think it’s iffy.
And the comments are a bit depressing – the guys talking about her (to them) extreme hairiness, f’rinstance.
YouTube comments, this time you have let me down.
Somehow Sarah Palin still makes me smile.
Go read this.
Being a participant – and if we’re honest, an observer did nothing but contribute as best he could to his wife’s mental well-being – in a hospital delivery was fascinating. Some doctors felt pretty strongly for inducing and C-sections; some doctors and most nurses were pretty strongly against. But all, fortunately, seemed content to watch how the individual birth in question proceeded and base their decisions on actual evidence.
Also, my only “Ew” moment was the OB came into the room wearing hip-waders.
I was 7 when my sister was born.
I couldn’t figure out how my mother and all her friends were going to fit into our small bathroom for the “baby shower”.
When they talked about the baby being “delivered” I assumed that the Postman was going to bring it to the house.
Oh Mr. Postman, can’t you see,
If there’s a baby in your bag for me.
I’ve been waiting such a long-long time.
Since I conceived this baby of mine!

Hi, I have thought about getting the software program DubTurbo Beatmaker and was hoping anybody could give me an actual legitimate critique of the program. Almost all the web pages that provide you with opinions are in reality affiliates endorsing the program and so i don’t believe that the critiques are valid. Many thanks in advance for all the insight someone can offer.
