Gin Arnold is a 69 year old liberal living in Orange Beach, Al a nest of Republicans. Somebody has to do it. I have owned several businesses, lived aboard a 32 foot sailing yacht, been a bar tender, boat captain, short order cook, and imported furniture from Indonesia for some 15 years. I am a strong supporter of President Obama, Roe V Wade, universal health care, and withdrawal from Iraq.
