Yeah, I'm getting over this cold then I'm gonna getting a job. Looking to get hooked up at this asian resturant. As for the tea party, it was...ok. USA,USA,USA!!! That was pretty much the gist of it. The papers reported there being around 600 people there. However, there were truly about 250 protesters. Savva got a lot of people to sign up and become members of the PLL that we have started. Interesting enough the Peace Coalition, that the PLL applied for, were protesting AGAINST out tax protest. There were about 10 of them vs. our 250. If we don't get accepted, it's ok. Cuz...they seem like UN communists anyway. Hey, I like your website! It was informative and had music to listen too.
Good job!
