Of course, he said that a million years ago, so it doesn't count.

1. Oh don't get me started again BurtWorm!

In peace and hope,

2. Everyone here should call Sen. Specter's office, today
and ask for an explanation of this, which is what I intend to do. It's no wonder people don't trust their congresscritters. :shrug:
