Oh, and hosts the Queen of England for her daily afternoon visits, of course. I'm sure that Al Gore, Michael Moore, and all of their peasant Hollywood friends would gladly sit in the dark on my behalf. <br /><br />Riiii-iiight!Alan J.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-55838858804272818272011-03-07T16:59:42.764-08:002011-03-07T16:59:42.764-08:00It's a conspiiiracy maannn!
