There's this acquaintance I have who is to the left of Dean....hates ALL MEN, except Dean. She's slightly obsessed with him. Anyway, I found out she's been posting to the blogforamerica.com, and I've been following her obsessive blogs. She HATES KERRY and the rest of the democrat "establishment". I've got blogforamerica.com minimized so I can read as her mind short-circuits tonight.

"She sold her bike..............????"

I bet she feels really stupid after seeing Kerry ride about on an $8,000 bike.

And some old lady gave him coins for his campaign... and the sonofabitch took them!

How many times is Dean going to us the personal pronoun "I"? I counted 34 times, then gave up.
