What We're Thankful For

patriotic to speak your mind.

conducting a “very

We're thankful we're
not Scott McClellan.
We're thankful for the residents of Dover,

your back.)
Happy Thanksgiving! – The Progress Report Team.
And
I'd like to add, we're thankful to the loyal and hard-working Blog for
Iowa team – Trish, Caroline, Molly, Chad, and our new guy, Arron – who
keep this thing up and running and do it in style.
