How to be a Good Liberal, April 20, 2006

Sometimes you just can't help yourself. I've been in a feisty mood all day. It all started this morning when a co-worker and I decided to t-p a fake tree sitting beside another co-workers desk. I may be a 40 something, but the little kid still comes out every once in a while. I'm still trying to figure out how I'm gonna explain that rubber monkey smoking a fake cigarette while swinging from the top branch of that fake tree. With all that "fakeness" throughout the day (LOL), the remainder of tonights blog entry seemed oh so appropriate! That said, read on...enjoy and have a great night!
