An Open Letter to Senator John McCain
Saturday, 30 August 2008 9:05 P GMT-05
Dear Mr. McCain,When I was six, I got a bicycle for my birthday. I rode that thing every day until I finally mastered the art of balancing; one Sunday morning around 5 am I woke my father to take the training wheels off. When I was seven
