    I have plenty of readers, thanks for asking. Note the publication date, darling, and you'll see this was published in 2008. But good job being able to read.

    I think your answer to #7 should read, Obama, and not President Bush - Bush is no longer in office, thereofore not really the person to "blame" anymore. Wonder how President Obama thanksgiving will be so lavishly spent - seeing there are MANY MANY people who will do without this year. If you want to share a "commentary" of your articles, please keep your opinions to yourself. It might make more readers read what you have to say.
