Would've liked to see the upset, but hey, they lost to a country I have visited many times and love, so....wait a minute...Puerto Rico isn't a country! This whole thing's a sham! If they win, doesn't that mean the US wins? I guess this is perfect, actually. I can root for PR, and around my flag-waving friends, I can say, Hey, they're part of us! And around my commie pinko friends, I can say, Yeah, death to America!<BR/><BR/>In reality, I probably won't talk about any of this to anyone. Also, go Cuba, DR, Canada, Italy, and Russia and France if they ever have horses in this race.Jerehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13448619048422750447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-17361389249334438472009-03-09T21:10:00.000-07:002009-03-09T21:10:00.000-07:00Up to $10.50 now?
