This mama's-guy Patrick Henry has designed new $-currency and a national flag. He rails against high taxes. Is he a joke? Of course. But he's getting attention, all that matters -- including from NY's "paper of record."...see the full story.

Hello. Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degenerate into hard work. I am from Wales and now study English, give true I wrote the following sentence: "It is a very bad omen indeed to see something in a mirror which should not be there, a technique regularly used in scary movies! Some cultures also have a custom that a newborn child should not look into a mirror until its first birthday because its soul is still forming."

Waiting for a reply :-D, Ignacia.
