"No Bowser, your other left!" by bowser 2012-08-15 09:35:45
Hell, I still can't keep it in my head whether the red light is on the left or right. by TB 2012-08-14 09:07:29
- It's probably easier when you have a red light on your left wing and a green one to your right. by alcaray 2012-08-14 14:33:05
  - Tom's plane doesn't have a left wing. by ER 2012-08-14 16:35:19

When this first started, there were several Republicans who recommended that he disclose his taxes. by alcaray 2012-08-10 13:44:58
- I am curious why ER and TB think this thread is about Reid, though. n/t by alcaray 2012-08-10 15:16:56
  - Its not about Reid. by ER 2012-08-10 17:07:03

        You're not even bothering to deny it, are you? by ER 2012-08-10 17:44:27

        Just curious... Did anyone on this thread click on my link? by TB 2012-08-10 16:51:07
        
        yes and I responded to it. by BuckGalaxy 2012-08-10 20:37:05
        
        It seemed to have to do with Reid, so I disregarded it. Is it germain, after all? by alcaray 2012-08-10 16:55:19
        
        That's what I thought. by TB 2012-08-10 17:24:21
        
        You did not answer the question. Was it a germain link? If it was I will go and study the thing and apologize. by alcaray 2012-08-10 18:26:28
      - Not about Reid. And Romney has not released 2 years yet. One is mysteriously amended, till he discloses the new version. by alcaray 2012-08-10 16:34:09
