#10 memeorandom.com had a thread on this earlier, but it is gone now. It seems the MSM doesn't have an interest in this, what with Anna Nicole and all. Sheesh. |

#7 I think she resigned because she saw the direction the milspending will go with a Dim majority - down. I will need to check if she gets appointed to a ECOCON subcommittee and hubby buys a light bulb manufactury. |
