Helen versus Richie: The Early Years). The ceremony is to be held

Note to self skip Sidetrack on April 6th.
ReplyDeleteI wish she would just go away.
God Damski who made this choice?!
ReplyDeleteI hope she gets BOOOOEEDDD!!!
ReplyDeleteOne thing I think most reasonable people can agree on is that Shiller was way out in front in the gay rights battles. That's one issue she was right on.
ReplyDeleteLet her receive her award in relative peace. She deserves credit on that issue.
In ten days, unless there's a tie, we will have an alderperson elect. It's time to focus more on the future and less on the past.
PS. Get off your butts and go early vote.
100% agree IP.
