[Rhodes22-list] Shocking Truth - Reply to welleducatedslim(political)

[Brad Haslett]

Wally,

Here's your chance to win some new pajamas.  The Panamas Media blogsite is
running a contest to come up with a label for people who consider themselves
neither liberal or conservative.

BTW, this is a great website that I read daily.  I'm glad we agree on
prostitutes.  Now what should we do about those whores in Congress?

Brad
