If the Republicans want to commit suicide this is probably the way to do it. But why take the country down with you????? Maybe we will just stay in Canada.
When I made the post this morning I commented that since it was Sunday morning our trip through Montreal would be a leisurely one. I was sooooo WRONG!! We did get to the two sites on our… Read More
