When I was compiling this Wingnut Wrapup, I told myself that I'd gotten the wrong one there, and then My wife needed me to go to Costco with her, and I forgot to change it. I blame Obama.<br /><br />Magpie, I've read a lot of that too, and curiously, when I was young, I read a lot of Zane Grey novels too.
