Cheek, meet tongue
Yep, we’ve done a great job. Things are definitely much better now in Iraq. Thank you, Mr. Bush. You can go back to Crawford now and take Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Feith and Perle with you. Please?

The deed is done. Yesterday, we signed the loan papers and took delivery of a Dark Red 2002 Honda Odyssey EX-L sans DVD player or navigation system. Going by Edmunds it looks like we got a pretty good deal. The … Continue reading
