9. I'm thinking it's Kathleen Sebelius

Lots of little rumors about her suddenly over the past 24 hours all over the Internet. But we will see.

[greguganus]

12. That would really P O the PUMAs n/t

[Seen the light]

16. I agree....

But I've read separate rumors on separate sites today from people claiming that they've seen Obama's plane being painted with Obama/Sebelius and another person claiming he has seen the Obama/Sebelius signs.

Again, just rumors.
