Annie Get Your Gun!

 
So, I just found out something that made me like Sarah Palin even more:
She has a lifetime membership to the National Rifle Association!!  
It makes me happy.  And this is said by someone who has has firearm safety taught to her since she could walk, whose parents and grandparents hunt, and someone who is [...]

McCain made an a great pick for VP this morning!!  Not only am I pleased as a young registered Republican, but I’m pleased because I happen to be female AND am in a big family!!

Heat, Humidity, and a Hot Body

Yes, you ready that right — and about now you’re probably trying to figure out why the heck that I put that in the subject line.  I’ll explain:

HAMBURGER!!!

I logged on Chron.com tonight ro find this article on PETA wanting to rent boarder fence space to advertise.
