Sarah Palin’s Support of Aerial Wolf Gunning.by Lindsey Wolf on Sep 12, 2008 Maybe it’s because my last name is Wolf. But this one really got to me.

Dawn Dish Detergent “Saves Wildlife” But Also Raises Some Questions.by Lindsey Wolf on Sep 5, 2008 I just moved into a new apartment, and noticed that the previous tenant left a bottle of Dawn dish detergent in the kitchen.
