By now, everyone in the country is all a-twitter (and a-facebooked, and a-linkedin, etc.) about the big flap over Mitt Romney's stated deficit reduction plan as well as President Obama's subsequent campaign nest feathering (responsibly recycling materials left in the wake of a flightless yellow fellow who suddenly found himself contemplating forced migration).

friend.

 

And all this time he thought right-wing and left-wing referred to body parts.
