Maybe so!

My sister- and brother-in-law are visiting from Johannesburg for over a month, so we'll need a vacation. :)

She must be vying for the Baghdad Esther title...or would it be Falluja Esther?

Well, that's it, then. If Madonna thinks so, then we should get out.

Maybe she thinks if they're back in the US they'll have access to record stores and might buy her crappy CDs.

Hey Esther, it doesn't take a political scientist to understand the consequences of us leaving right now. After you study at Westpoint or become a political scientist, let us know your opinion. Until then...

That was my thought too. Was she pointing to her crotch when she said:
"My feelings are 'can we just all get out?"
