and even had planned on e-mailing you what was the missing piece. I have a feeling that everything is not all that it seems to be, and that feeling comes from a huge mistrust of certain segments of the Government that, funnily enough, always comes back to the same core group.

I told my husband just this morning that someone or some agency is always set up as the scapegoat to cast doubt on the Democratic Party and just enough people are gullible enough to run with it. For example, it seems that every time Bushco was on TV pushing some negative a Democrat had done, it almost always was something that the Republicans had perfected but kept under the radar. They're able to sell it so well because they've invented it.

Current events have reached levels of crazy I didn't think possible; it's the ultimate in blaming Bush administration garbage on Obama and I wish he'd just forget about playing Mr. Nice Guy. If that's what he's doing.

Still waiting on you to write a book, Octafish.
