What's really going on here? And while we're on the topic ... what do you think will be the outcome of today's voting?
Michelle Obama dresses down the waitress who brought her Equal instead of her requested Splenda.
And I say Hillary takes it by 5, but not enough to make a dent. She's out by the morning.
Now I know why the Pope only eats in private!
left to right:
"I'm outa here in 10 minutes to play 'ball with the gang as is my custom on primary days"-
-"Over my dead body!"
"Can she have fries with that?"
"I thought the waitress said 'apple', not scrapple"!"
Michelle- [bubble caption] " I know MY GIRL did not just say THAT up in this here joint...heck naw! wait til I get her home..."
Daddy B- [bubble caption] "..shucks, Mi gonna kill my later for this one cuz we is out in public and all but i gots to say it...lemme not look MY GIRL dead in the eye and refocus my displeasure on these eggs sunside up and not done...." Wait person can i get some tabasco, please i got a hot day today!"
