We got into fights at school but made the best friends we ever had from them.

ISBN: 9781456724092 / Angielski / Twarda / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

This book speaks to the lies, hypocrisy and nefarious activities of this Bush bastard and his "colleagues-in-crime." I have no political affiliation per se. This is not about "Right" or "Left"--in this book I speak to right and wrong! This man (now there's an oxymoron) and his cronies have come to us with God on their lips and blood on their hands....
