Oh, great. NOW you're giving it out for free. Can I get my 99 cents back, LOL!

So was most of the southwest. I'm reading Robert Caro's first volume of this LBJ biography, and it's truly amazing how leftist many people were out here back then. Nearly all the farmers were rabid New Dealers who hated big business. I also read Thomas Franks What's the Matter with Kansas a...
