ms-jersey
you are such an instigator
Let these wonderful ladies shine.This is their Day !

Sonia had her day in 2006 when she received the JFK award and
will have another day tomorrow in Whashington when she receives the Women of Courage Award.
Then you can summon the perejil cannibals to devour her.

You are not like the other compasionate and peaceful women.
You possess this unusual testicular panchant for violence , for starting fights.
Are you a hemaphodite ???

"Where's Solan Pie? Did he acknowledge her too? I didn't think so." Solange is only doing good things for the Haitians not Dominicans, so Preval is the one to bestowe her.
