Quote of the Day
Posted by Jill | 1:37 PM
"You people are really nuts...There’s kids dying in the war, the price of oil right now — there’s better things in this world to be thinking about than who served Hillary Clinton at Maid-Rite and who got a tip and who didn’t get a tip." -- Maid's Rite Diner waitress Anita Esterday, to a reporter, commenting on Tipgate.
