Did I say I love snow? and that I miss having it around? I do, I really do. So, this weekend was wonderful for me. and I have the pictures to prove it.

and yes, I know its been hard on some folks. and really hard on some branches that were ready to come down.

but I love snow.

We believe the US should take a very different approach to addressing this problem. Our principles for reducing terrorism are:

Pursue true terrorists such as al Qaeda by eliminating training camps, preventing arms smuggling, freezing financial assets and apprehending terroris... read more
