For one thing, there’s either an egregious lie buried in it, or a really dumb mistake. Factcheck much? Here’s the first one called ” Thank You” OPEN ON A YOUNG MULATTO FEMALE DOCTOR.

I actually had memorized the opening lines, years ago, because Mom boasted that she could still recite the Prologue some 50 years or so after graduating high school. So I had to give it a shot just so I could come home from my fancy college education one spring break and spout off about I can get as…

Also, teabagging FAIL! @nomtweets can suck it #savenom My mom-in-law and sister will be wondering what this is about if she happens to read this post. Where to start?
