Touché

by Smitty Now and then, one gets trashed so hard that the best course of action is to join the audience in admiration of a good trashing: When did Smitty turn into a Progressive? He seems to claim charisma is a zero sum game. He claims the charismatically rich Paul Ryan got that way from […]

Rule 5 SundayThursday
