After all, those west of that point have been screaming not fair on this issue for years.

I had to tell the owner that I had to scratch the dog's name off the list. The dog wasn't at least 18 years of age (in both human and dog years).<br /><br />I wouldn't trust the PM pulling names out of a hat. He probably has a few up his sleave.

Its sort of arbitrary as it is, and no longer could the PM be blamed for patronage. <br /><br />"the only qualification needed to be a Senator is that you can efficiently and effectively do nothing."<br /><br />"even though let's be honest, I would have made an excellent Senator."<br /><br />That made me laugh out loud. Can't wait for the next one, Gerry. And oh yes, loved you book, read it straight through in one day(Maybe the next one needs to be longer), and thank you for opening my eyes to that is around me.Kadamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08393065593008003711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859678.post-63786388806972266712009-08-28T11:07:57.982-04:002009-08-28T11:07:57.982-04:00I like the idea, but the names in the hate should ...I like the idea, but the names in the hate should only consist of people who voted in the previous election.<br /><br />That way it also encourages more people to vote!paulmhttp://www.pomochristian.canoreply@blogger.com
