I got this information from a reliable source that heard Beatriz arguing violently with the CPA firm that is counting the votes. She wanted my Dad's votes tossed out and disqualified. Apparently she...

Ok everyone, I admit it, Jason Repa is a better chess player than me, better looking than me, a better poet than me (actually, i'm too dense to understand any of his poetry, but it sure looks good), and better at alot of other things i'm sure.
