thank you for sharing that very long list of attacks on the United States. None of them have a damn thing to do with Saddam Hussein, but ok.
There may have been some original thought in that post, but there was too much anger there for me to want to wade through it right now. I'll try to read it later. I think you'll probably get on well with this guy Sam who's around here somewhere, loathe too. I don't usually think of MTAngry as a liberal, but your mileage may vary. But hey, is this a newbie alert? Traditionally this calls for muffins. Blueberry or banana nut?
