Stuff and Nonsense

Is my John McCain doll featured somewhere on the web?  He’s got a ton of hits and I have no idea why.  Let me know if you know the answer!

I sold the Barack Obama doll – he now lives happily in Maryland, which is, coincidentally, very close to Washington DC. I guess Hillary has no [...]
