I enjoy your commentary, Jim Wright. Very much. I always like reading arguments and viewpoints from both sides. Too many people get carried away, but you seem to maintain the voice of reason, your comments are clearly thought out and crafted beforehand and you're laser-focused on your beliefs and opinions. And I just laughed out loud when you told ol' Henri to kiss your ass. You'd better watch out, though; he might like that, lol! These are just a few of the millions of things that make our country so great.

Due to the concerted efforts of authors like George R. R.

She put out a Webpage asking for contributions to fund a recount in Wisconsin, and the contributions poured in.<br /><br />Oh! Okay then! Stein looked at the total, swallowed hard, and said, "All right, let's look at Pennsylvania, too -- and Michigan!"<br /><br />And the donors said, "Yes! Let's do that!"<br /><br />The total cost of the recounts in all three states is expected to be $7 million. As of Sunday evening, some five days after she posted the page, $6,169,766 has been received.<br /><br />Idiot won these three states by a razor-thin margin.
