Normally, I find her quite repugnant...but, she is dead on in this interview with Dr. Stephen T. Colbert, D.F.A. Hell, if McCain v.2000 were running this time, I'd be down with him, but as she said, and I thought when he first came back from almost being knocked out of the race, McCain v.2008 is a flip-flopper and right-wing suck up.

Par-tay.

I called and emailed Texas Teachers. I got no response. So, being that an hour and a half had elapsed and I am very impatient, I called them again. Instead of the answering service, I got an actual...
