Miscellanea
Google blog search I just stumbled across Google’s blog search, yet another sweet google site. The National Federation of Republican Assemblies Now there’s a group I like.

Since then, with God’s blessing and our President’s stellar leadership, we have started two democracies in the middle east, secured our nation and fought hard against our domestic enemies. May the heroes of the tragic day [...]
