That must have taken a lot of digging in secret. Quoting: TDJ Let me be the first to say to Michele...YOU DIDN"T BUILD THAT RAILROAD. :0takescredit: Apollo astronauts couldn't have passed through Van Allen's Belt. Van Allen wore suspenders. |

You mean like when the Dems went off full blast on Sarah Palin when she used the figure of speech that she "could see Russia from her back yard"? It was obvious she was speaking as to how close Alaska is to Russia but the Dems took great delight in making fun of her over it. |

Quoting: JoeJett Think about it: She's affirmative action college grad with a thesis on institutional racism. That African Studies free ride means she just had to say "Martin Luther King" and "Kill Whitey" 3 times and bang, she got a degree. She has no idea of actual history, science, economics, nutrition, or, God help us, fashion sense. |
