  1. Makes me long for the days when my e-mail was full of all of those “GW Bush as chimp” chain letters with the photo’s of GW paired with apes who wear similar expressions.*sigh*I can’t wait until the Democrats move past race baiting and ID poolitics for political advantage: it makes them look so substanceless…

  2. There will come a day when men are seen as men; But until that day we have to understand that hatred is exactly that hate! It does’nt matter if you are blue with yellow polka-dots somehow it’s always something.Evil wins when good men do nothing. Thanksfor being a good man.
