                                                        Tom says:
                                                        (I'm busy spanking yo Momma right now)
                                                        Ralph says:
                                                        so I guess you still think Bush has time to declare martial law?
                                                        Tom says:
                                                        no... thankfully,  - he's almost slithering out the door
                                                        Ralph says:
                                                        when do we find out who Bush pardoned
                                                        Tom says:
                                                        it's gotta be before noon... he SHOULD pardon himself
