Some not for themselves or anyone else. Thankfully most are a blend.

I also reckon that we ain't seen nothing yet.<br /><br />I didn't attend the local tea party last month because I was too busy <I>getting a message to Garcia</I> rather than ranting (as I'm doing now). Also, I intend to give President Obama and his <I>modus operandi</I> a fair chance to work (or fail) before taking to the streets.<br /><br />Gotta hand it to the Dems. They sure have nerve. If they can get this country on a better track, more gigajoules to 'em. I don't hope they will fail, any more than I want my kidneys to fail. However, I remain skeptical.Stan Gibiliscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15455094392489031332noreply@blogger.com
