Call this office any name you want, but maybe it will actually serve its purpose and give President Clinton what he deserves for his disgusting bastardization of the truth throughout the entire Monica S.

The floormate even recalls a swarm of intrigued students huddled around it like squirrels over an acorn...
...Fowler has only recently been cleared of charges in the "Landgate" scandal, in which he was accused of reallocating public land to "mysterious foreign friends with questionable agendas" and to powerful citizens of the Kisone Republic. His accusers believed he was giving these large gifts as a means of gaining support for his political platform. Fowler is First Citizen of the Kisone Republic, a peaceful micronation located in various parts of Mankato, Minn., and the airspace surrounding it. Currently, Fowler's dorm room is "the floating city" of the Republic...
