I was sick for like a month or better this winter... it sucked...
got sick for a week. better for a few days, then sick again for 2 more weeks, then it lingered for another week or so...it was ridiculous!

I was sitting in the House Gallery listening to stupid debating, and got news messages about this. Also get very fast releases from Department Of Justice. When no news from DOJ, I knew that once again the media had rushed a false report out without verifying information. It appears that one news outlet heard the same rumor form CNN, so two outlets raced to get it out there..... They are more concerned with being first than being correct.
And the Ricen is still not officially confirmed on each count yet, but I have also heard "unverified" news of this arrest. Seems the fool mailed it with Memphis postmark, and put his initials on the letters, and sat around home waiting for the cops!
