Yes, but one so rarely gets to enjoy a good frothing rage nowadays. Now that Bush is out of the white house, I’m down to maybe one a month. Sad days to be sure.

Carol Stream is GREAT for the board. It brings a smile to my face to see her yank the chains of you “My Shit Don’t Stink Stick Up The Ass Anointed Ones”.

Great stuff!

Balderdash. **Carol Stream** would never yank chains. Doing so would be trolling.
