This Post Served Sans Brain Bleach

by Smitty Earlier, Stacy’s Green Room post about my otherwise righteous governor, McDonnell, doing the dirty work for Romney got me thinking: McDonnell’s argument is dishonest and, furthermore, why can’t Mitt Romney fight his own fights? Should Mitt Romney wish to pick an argument with Santorum over this issue, by all means let him do […]

Van Jones Is Anti-American

by Smitty Since the Commie creep is tired of being called anti-American, this blog feels a patriotic duty to add to his exhaustion.
