She doesn't possess the talents of walking and talking the official government line without very well reasoned responses.<BR/>She is wrong on this one but hey even she can come down on the right side occasionally. As the verse in the Craig Morgan song goes "she makes left of center seem right somehow" in this piece.tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17156943875749350309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10887668.post-36100702978387320192009-02-03T15:49:00.000-06:002009-02-03T15:49:00.000-06:00Brian,Gotta keep 'em guessin.' :)Brian,<BR/><BR/>Gotta keep 'em guessin.' <BR/><BR/>:)Jackie Meltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10554151805461400754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10887668.post-39146401516008276112009-02-03T15:44:00.000-06:002009-02-03T15:44:00.000-06:00Jackie, I'm shocked.
