It’s Palin-drome Day; Madam I’m Adam

   Posted by: goinglikesixty    in Education, Entertainment, Writing

Always the sucker for word play, palindrome is the first thing that pooped into my noodle when I hear McCain had picked Gov. Palin (who?) So I wrote some crap down.

   Posted by: goinglikesixty    in Education, Health
