Did they ever marry? She was one jealous piece of work, and very ice-queen.

I didn't know that. I'm not surprised because there does not seem to be the negative connotation of cracker in Florida. The Florida Cracker seems to be more about horses and farming and such. There is a history of them embracing the term as a source of pride.http://i.ebayimg.com/images...

I just read that a CNN poll reveals that over 80% of white working-class Americans (whatever the fuck that means) think the US Government does not represent their views. Based on what's going on these days it seems their views are those of Paula and Donald. If that's the case I'm fucking glad the US Government doesn't represent their views (fuck them) or we would live in 1960s South Africa.
