Anger has been ready to be angry.
They say productivity is the key to confidence, and confidence. . . to productivity. And they're happy walking back and forth between these two rooms, each the excuse for the other.

But for the most part, a Southern accent may as well be a slave owner as far as Democrats are concerned; they want no part of it.
