“Imagine there’s no liberals …”

By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9RCygMfIG8&feature=player_embedded] Brighten up your Thursday morning with this delicious parody of John Lennon’s song, “Imagine.” I think this comes to us from Rush Limbaugh, but I discovered it on a delightful blog called “The Mad Jewess” (http://themadjewess.com).  This is a site by patriotic American girls.  Their slogan is: “We are extremely intolerant…

You are a racist

News flash! Obama doesn’t blame something on Bush!

By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0cA1_qF1Cg&feature=youtu.be] In an era when the president is single-handedly requiring Catholics to pay for abortifacients for their employees, we need to find a way to keep our sanity. Humor is one way. Laughter is the only way to keep us from crying. To that end, Quiner’s Diner is once again proud to…
