Dear friends, I do not know what to say. I am watching potenital quondams of the national legislature right now: bone head bonyer, the other miscreant from washington who is cuddling up to Hussein. But today I am despairing about the democratic attempt in NJ to replace Senator Scumbag. IF the NJSC allows the change, I think that I may finally give up on the fact that America is a great place, where elections are sacred and law protected.

[NeoCaveman]

Nothing is sacred anymore thank Bill Clinton for that....

Quondom corporate bigwigs, now hauled out in leg irons. i fully agree that they should be prosecuted to the nth degree for their wrongdoing, but it aggravates me that they are treating the white collar criminals more roughly than serial killers, just for the public show of it all.
