About Me
- James Ala
- San Jose, California, United States
- A man with way too much time on his hands. Part of the vast Left-Wing Air America listening commie-pinko conspiracy. A reader of far too many history books than is good for normal functioning. Someone who can give a quick and facile explanation of the Council of Trent; which is why he is not often invited to cocktail parties.
