You're telling my ass we can bring back a prehistoric wolf but we can't get Outkast back together and whatnot?

I actually agree that the GOP tanks the economy whenever they have power. And it should be studied why and how USians *forget* this regularly.

Joke's on her. I'm squinting, not out of disgust, but because the lighting is too goddamn low for me to see.
