little smiles on their face when you try to contradict anything that doesn't come straight out of the White House script book. They don't argue with you but they just get this "tsk tsk, oh you poor thing" look. Just makes me want to rip out the sidewalk with my bare hands! :spank:

10. That's why the "liberal media" theme is so important. |

9. Or you could just use the parental controls |

Just block out Fox. She will probably go nuts trying to figure out the password though.
