\nmarried 22 years:
\n“The wife says choose: Rush Limbaugh or me.

\nwhat a bargain we get?<\/p>\n
Einstein – “If there is a 3rd World War
\nthe 4th will be fought with sticks and stones.”<\/p>\n

And blessed be the creator, Lisa Jensen,
\nof a Christmas Peace Symbol Wreath.
\nIf the world broke out Christmas morning
\nfull of these new wreaths,
\nwould Peace break out all over?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
