I still much prefer your X-rated rantings and don't let your sister stop you on your flowery wordings! You ought to be able to write something really fun tonight about your "favorite" brain dead ex-prez (who never met a dictator that he did not love and embrace) being visited by the most leftist/liberal Dummycrat candidate in Georgia today. Unfortunately for us Dean looks like he is slipping big time in both Iowa and New Hampshire. I would have loved to see this Fall a big time trouncing of Dean by Bush, not to mention being able to salivate over the size of Bush's coattail for the 2 houses and various governor houses all across the country.
My sis' former neighbor - You haven't sent me menus of your great meals to taunt me. I admire your restraint after what Ryan did to you with the apple pie.
