The Alarm Clock

Written by Larry Marciniak Sunday, 14 February 2010 20:19

The sound you heard on January 19th was the alarm clock telling Democrats to wake up.  The trembling you felt was not an aftershock from Haiti.  It was Senator Kennedy rolling over in his grave.  The noise you heard on January 21st was the other shoe falling in Washington, D.C.
