playing the violin...Read in the Un-Australian from the Merde-och press.... From Don Aitkin
whose innocents .....Odd, isn’t it, how our “collateral damage” is different from their “collateral damage”.
I have a drone .....A simple twist of fate has set President Obama’s second Inaugural Address for January 21, the same day as the Martin Luther King Jr. national holiday.
