    First off, I'd like to apologize for this vanity, it is my first. After reading that John Stossel would be having a special on Free Speech here at FR yesterday, I decided to finally dust off the boob tube and see what the dude had to say.

However, as a presidential candidate, it must take a stand. Cthulhu is, therefore, pro-choice because it cares little for what ...
