Miscellania

Posted on by The_Blogmother

I finally have our Cafe Press story ready, with “Anyone But Bush Again ’04” merchandise (ed. note: cafepress.com/abba04 since closed). Half the proceeds will go towards booting the squatter out of the Oval Office, the other half to helping one family (us) survive the Bush economic policies. More details on the site.…
