"Republican leaders have already objected to many parts of the bill, and 6 in 10 rank-and-file Republicans across the country say they would want their member of Congress to vote against the bill."
Ten Years…. I was watching the CNN special called “Footnotes of 9/11.” As soon as they showed the video images of the planes hitting the World Trade Center, I was angry…and then I was crying.

I've been paying too much attention to politics lately. After this past week of political nonsense, I decided it was time to post something else. This is my cat. Her name is Gemini since her face looks like two different cats mushed together.
