Greetings from San Francisco

The New Neo Posted on July 21, 2007 by neoJuly 21, 2007

The New Neo Posted on July 18, 2007 by neoJuly 18, 2007

Surprise, surprise! The Senate pulled an all-nighter, but the Democratic leadership failed to garner enough votes to change anything in Iraq. That “surprise, surprise” comment of mine was, of course, sarcastic, because it could not possibly have come as a … Continue reading →
