Regards to all the Finest on this beautiful day.
After all the slander and treasonous, self-serving lies on the groove tube the past couple of days, I've officially declared my pad a Clarke-free zone...I'm mad as hell and just can't take it any more.
I thank God for Free Republic (and tip my hat to Jim Robinson, too...)))
