Meredith bonds with the Chief while Mark learns that he has a teenage daughter.

Public Post +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ BAM'S EURO FREEZE NEW ICE AGE WITH OLD ALLIES Ralph Peters Last updated: 3:48 am June 10, 2009 Posted: 2:14 am June 10, 2009 WHEN Europeans wish upon a star, they get an American president with a huge Third World chip on his shoulder.
