In a recent article in the New York Daily News GOP member John Spencer is quoted as calling Hillary Clinton Ugly. I’m not sure if you ever seen John Spencer but he should look in the mirror before he starts calling people ugly. He’s busy looking like he has a Vitamin E deficiency instead of [...]

Side Bar: Text Messaging (SMS)
10.07.06 | Permalink | 3 CommentsText Messaging (SMS) is a Godsend and I’m very appreciative. In a time when people are becoming annoying to talk to (myself included) it’s best to have text messaging.
