42. Washington Examiner???

Hmmm... wonder if the story is true? If so, we'll hear it somewhere else tomorrow. Good on Lady Gaga if it is. I'm not real crazy about some of her music, but some I really do like. And what I like more than anything is how she loves her little "Monsters." She has probably saved more young lives than we know, with her uplifting messages to them. "Born This Way" was just brilliant. Yeah, Repugnants, take your million bucks and stick it where the sun don't shine.
Lady Gaga doesn't want or need your dirty-rotten stinkin' money!
