    I think at this point the Arabs are just staring in bafflement: “Holy camel shit, they fell for that again?” Then the entire Muslim Brotherhood bursts out laughing…

    Oh, and Snooki has two novels on the NYT bestseller list. Truly, these are the end times…

    And seriously backatcha, I wish the woman nothing but well, I was impressed when she quit Jersey Shore to have her kid away from that zoo. That took character.

    But when I opened the book the first words my eyes fell on were, “,,,she was unaware of her thong wedgie….”

    I mean, there’s NO WAY I can’t finish it now, but Thorne Smith she ain;t.
