Some time ago Shep was accused of trying to run down a female colleague for parking in his spot. I think he took an anger management course afterward.
But that doesn't mean you're out of danger. ;o)
BRIT??? Aw hell, that man's more hetero than the entire 101st airborne after Ask/Tell/PoundEmIntoCrap Day.
It seems to me that you are the one getting off of the subject.
Not to mention she stopped using make-up, nail polish, and hair dye, AND renewed her dues to the NOW gang.
Well thank you.
Then again, when Cruzer-loser Bustedmental and his mechistas take it over, it will become Aztlan and the rest of us won't have to worry about it anymore.
Since *YOU* brought this up...
I guess that includes your home state of Ohio.
Read and weep
Columbus is becoming a mecca for illegal aliens. It's expanding by leaps and bounds...," according to an INS spokeswoman commenting on the March 1996 arrest of 42 illegal aliens. The Columbus Dispatch, March 28, 1996.
The 2000 Census found that 42.2 percent of Ohio's foreign-born population had arrived in the state since 1990. This demonstrates the effects of the current mass immigration
In February 2003, the INS estimated that the illegal alien population in Ohio was about 40,000 residents as of January 2000. This was nearly double the previous INS estimate that the illegal alien population was about 23,000 residents as of October 1996.
Ohio authorities requested compensation from the federal government in FY'99 for the incarceration expenses for 73,069 days of detention for illegal aliens in state and local jails and prisons.
Uh Oh, I'm not watching.
Tony Snow giving her the Blizzard sure helped her remember what it was like for her to be a woman. She was flourishing while that little affair was happening.
I'm just surprised so few people caught it. It was so obvious to me what was going on that they might as well have put it on the Fox News Ticker....
T O N Y S N O W S C H T U P I N G M A R I A L I A S S O N
You know, that sort of thing...
Wasn't the subject who's screwing who over at Fox News????
