However, one of these albums was an anti-Iraq-war compilation album that caught my attention because it was narrated by Mumia Abu Jamal, a Black Panther Party activist who is on death row for murdering a Philadelphia police officer in 1981.

Cow Patty called Retired Geek a "Gooper", but the proper name would have been a "Goober".

Geek is neither.

Cow Patty? Your guess is as good as mine, but we can all agree that her vocational school did not teach her very much.

Wow! You have finally admitted what I told you eons ago - that the Public Option is as dead as are my grandparents. Kudos! I think.

The Silent Majority is not comprised of the Liberal/Progressives. It represents the MAJORITY.
