Naw, not January. There will be an approved plan by the middle of December.

Olevia and Vizio are American companies, but as you probably know, the
TVs sold under these brands are manufactured in the far east.

Ed.

Bush the Worst ... has been foxing California with Enron since day one.

Building 7 collaspe with no fire or plane ... held the evidence of the
fraud.

There is a culture war ... and Bush is out to kill the Blue States ... now
that there are so many of them with the last election ... well Bush and
Chenny and the GOPerps just have more targets then before.

They are winning the culture war you see ... and then they will shoot them
selves with koolaid and their children ... if they are ever over run.

So they have plans.

People stuck in their toddler tantrum do such things .. it is how Jonestown
happens. They were all raised to 'roll' and give the little Bubble Boy what
he wants just to shut him up. Barbara and Poppie have only themselves to
blame for raising such a spoiled rotten little child.

Beat up a baby in the womb, the come out diaper poop wall wipers ... jammy
turd brains.

They want to kill mommy and daddy for the womb beating ... but they can't ..
so they go out and destroy all that mommy and daddy love and want.

They **** the house, the burn the house, the crash the car, the suicide out.

The defense structure is trying to make them cry because of such casualties,
saddness and regrets.

Comes with all dysfunctional family systems such as the Bush family.

It is across the USA sorry to say.

There is hope ... people are getting better.

The GOPerps are getting sicker of course.

How could a jealous God the Father who makes babies with His daughters do
such a thing ???

ya ... how could some God like that do such things.

My God don't Fox around ... their God does.
