[Vision2020] Moscow's Leading Liberals Own Stock in Wal-Mart

[Carl Westberg]

"Why are we drinking this crappy disgusting water?", asks Donovan.  Donovan, 
I think you're onto something.  The reason us icky liberals that give you 
hives exist in Moscow is because we drank the water.  Little did we know of 
the insidious bacteria that, once introduced into our systems, irrevocably 
turned us into....gasp..choke.... liberals.  Obviously, Donovan, you and 
others wisely switched to Evian, and you thus saved your conservative soul.  
Don't hate us, Donovan, it's not our fault.   Carl Westberg Jr.
