  1. I have been trying to restrain myself on other people’s comment boxes since a pmt rambling fest I inflicted on many innocent bloggers last weekend..however…this bill…these prosecutors..what the hell is going on? They’ve all got tiny, tiny little minds and I think they should be forced into primal scream therapy or something that makes them totally fall apart so they can ‘see the light’. Lawd a Lawks…what is the world coming to?

  2. *grins at elderfairy* 😉
