| A Message of Thanks to Bush Voters | Wednesday, 2004 November 3 - 10:46 pm |

But, all that aside, I will probably personally benefit in a number of ways under the Bush-Cheney administration. So in light of that, here is my message of thanks, to all those who voted for Bush this year. Read more... |
