I didn't think that required the /s tag, but I failed to allow for you.

And I resent being called a leftist. I am a proud, patriotic NEOCON.

We have donated to a charity, “Dog Is My Co-pilot”. They transport homeless pets to their new owners — all over the country. No owners on the planes, though; just animals.
