OOoOHHHHH now I get the weird warmer weather and record temperatures ...... the sun is finally starting to emerge in Hamilton COunty after decades of clouded, overcast skies and government operations being concealed.

AAAHHHH the warmth feels so good - the skies seem so bright .... the sunlight burns off the decayed remains of insider deals, corruption and favoritism!

HAD ENOUGH? VOTE REPUBLICAN 2007!
