Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

I leave you tonight with some wise words from The Boss.
Bruce is a wise man, and he speaks the truth about the current American leaders who commit treason daily in this country.
He is right. We will survive.
We will win this war. The Nazis will try to run. They won't get far.

Celebrate International Women's Day by interrupting men with your unsolicited opinions and taking credit for their work. If they get upset about it, be sure to tell them that they sound hysterical and should smile more.
