Things to say but not energy to say them…….

Because what point would it serve? When the world is full of SO MANY STUPID CONCLUSIONS, you just don’t know where to begin refuting them. Give me some time-I’ll work up a good head of steam. But for the record, its probably a good thing FDR did not have to be President with

I'm not so sure this is a good idea…..
