We already know that he’s a Democrat so what do you think he’ll driving to State Convention this weekend? I’m guessing it’ll be that of the old EV-1’s because I can’t see hin in one of those EV RAVs.

I’ve read somewhere that in prison, when you’re someone else’s bitch, you have to grab their belt loop. A few years ago, the Telecommunications industry broke a bunch of laws at the request of the federal government.

A horse I like to flog, so to speak.

Senator Biden left me a hand written note at the bottom of the return mail, thanking me for being balanced and thanking me for writing.
