Has anyone investigated whether Romney had any failures during this rise in wealth?

[G. Ross]

heard he caused a woman to die of cancer.

Wrong again, C-Less...

The buoyancy of the gas makes it easier to get over the 12-foot snow drifts we deal with every August.

And with refueling igloos every section along the grid roads, well, it's a beaut of a system, eh?

[Larry Jaques]

Amen, Hoser. I've seen the light. (It's somewhere above that horrid hazy fog you call "air" up there.)
