Happy Easter
Man, I really hope Frank isn’t the easter bunny…
Baracknophobia
Jill was watching this tonight and I had to include it. Funny stuff… If I remember correctly, when disagreement was expressed about [Bush’s] actions when y’all were in power, I believe the response was: “Why do you hate America? Watch what you say.

“It’s Just a Website”
