So 50 gays tried to rally for gay rights in Georgia, then THOUSANDS descended on the rally and took over. Those Georgians are tough.

I had been wondering each time I saw it. My college roommate named her firstborn with her maiden name too. It seems more common among women who only had sisters or were the only children. Ugh, still raining here.

So much for my theory that they don’t want the family name to disappear.

Wow, the hearing was brutal for Miller, the IRS disgrace. “I don’t remember”......gees, what if we tried that with the IRS? We’d be in jail.

We were in Silver Springs last summer and thought we were at the UN. It looks nothing like our neck of the woods.
