Do NOT vote for Sharon Angle

These tea baggers have no business in office. Sure, they do a good job of marketing the message that government is too big and the need to cut taxes, but the fact of the matter is the return to Reaganomics is a recipe for disaster. Remember what happened under Reagan? After 8 years, there was a stock market collapse followed by a big bailout. What happened under 8 years of Bush? A stock market crash followed by a bailout. Know what's going to happen if rebuplicans/teabaggers get elected? C'mon people!!! Wake up!

interesting quote

I came across this quote a while ago and thought it was interesting...

There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won’t anymore, and who always will. So don’t worry about people from your past, there’s a reason why they didn’t make it to your future.

Keith Richards wants to be a librarian?
