WOO! Oh man, after the social security people stopped hounding me for that 11 thousand dollars (when they finally realized “Oh? You were only 12 at the time?”) and after reading this, I feel that a few select parts of our federal government are working. Sorta.
Man, I wish Florida could use its death penalty on this case.
