Maybe you can also post a link to an article Washington wrote about how ugly the women were and how stupid the men were in Hellifux. We know those things to be true today. |

I thought you weren't going to insult me anymore. You have trouble keeping your word? Is this a common trait in Cleveland? |

Washington was a gentlemen farmer from Virginia, he wasn't of the Boston Snop Corps. |
