I was recently asked to create a presentation about America. It was to be shown to women from several different countries who'd never been to America. At first, I dreaded the project but I dove into it anyway. I decided that I wanted to show my Country as it really is.

FOX produces smirking report of Rally to Restore Sanity, and interviews the Devil.
