Is that an invite? L0L
Looks good! http://www.periniranch.com/
Pay up Bucko!
Texas, that's what I meant.
“George Soros needs to be patriotic and pay taxes, just ask VP Biden!”
That’s what gets me these guys advocate higher taxes and then turn around and do everything in thier power to limit thier own.
;)
Soros ......again
Maybe the best in New York, but that would be like being the best hemorrhoid in Rosie O'Donnell’s ass.
Bar-B-Que.........who even spells Q that way.....New Yorkers!
Thanks for letting me know about this. There is a Dinosaur BBQ here in Rochester NY and I will never go there again and I will tell all my friends never to go there!
Now he pledged $35 million for drugs and booze for the parents of needy school children in NY...
