Miles City, I have found, is one of the most ironic places on earth. Use your imagination.
In other news, to quote my step mom this morning:
"I don't think that i could be more proud of a president than i am of president bush. He is a christian- and i think he really carefully considers the desicions he makes."

"i'm just glad you got it somewhere it wont show." With a reprimanding glance, he turned and poured himself a rum and diet coke in the kitchen.
shit.
It could have been worse, i suppose. oh well. I would have been disappointed if there wasnt the look of shock on his face.
