President

You want to know what is really scary about this and who is jumping for joy that it turned out this way? <a href="http://www.nowherethoughts.net/pics/Hillary.jpg" onclick="window.open('http://www.nowherethoughts.net/pics/Hillary.jpg','popup','width=420,height=550,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false">Hillary</a>.
