  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

"NO SPIN ZONE" violated.

I'm not sure if it's true, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Judy Wallman, a professional genealogical researcher, discovered that Hillary Clinton's great-great uncle, Remus Rodham, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Montana in 1889.



The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the gallows. On the back of the picture is this inscription: “Remus Rodham; horse thief, sent to Montana Territorial Prison 1885, escaped 1887, robbed the Montana Flyer six times. Caught by Pinkerton detectives, convicted and hanged in 1889.”

Judy e-mailed Hillary Clinton for comments. Hillary's staff sent back the following biographical sketch:
'Remus Rodham was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory . His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Montana railroad. Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to service at a government facility, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad.

In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honor when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed.'

And THAT is how it's done folks!-----------GET READY!!!!

Fucking right wingers are masters at making shit up. Their only competition in this arena is religious nuts. Kinda hard to figure which is which since there's so much overlap.

Not bait. Statement of fact. Go to snopes and look up Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, John Kerry, etc. There are hundreds of BS stories. Most often it's just someone digging up some old tale and changing the names. Then they get passed along to all the Rush Limbaugh and Paul Harvey listeners because somebody knows those simpletons will latch onto and believe anything.

I completely agree with you on ther political side of this. I'll tell you what... My Faith played it's last card when it comes to how I vote. I voted for Bush twice and feel like a douche every time that guy opens his mouth. I consol myself with the fact the CA is a blue state and my vote did not count anyway.

Well, we're getting off track here. We are in the Comedy forum after all. Here's something in the same vein entirely made up yet eerily true:
