Just sent a copy of my three most recent books to my Mommy. Sent a PDF version to my brother, Joe. Sent a copy of Hunky Dunk to my sister-in-law since her late hubby inspired me to write it. I’ve sent some copies to folks who promise they will read them and write a review. [...]
Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy (D-OH) has posted a blog entry on The Huffington Post stating the obvious… that the teabaggers who taunted and threw money at a man with Parkinson’s outside her office the other day crossed the line and “went too far.”
