A serious loss to good governance.<br /><br />Still, thinking the right wing opposed the Patriot (LMAO) Act is beyond absurd, Joe.Ducky's herehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14608115001116619877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632224842501413538.post-4697917645314431942013-06-13T09:19:18.524-04:002013-06-13T09:19:18.524-04:00
