Political Inevitability of Demography...

The G.O.P. will likely take back the House on Tuesday. This understandably is troublesome for many people. However, it is only an inevitable pushback against the changing political, racial, and cultural demographics in America. The republican brand is living on borrowed time.

Rick Santorum Would Be Proud...

Inanimate objects and dogs? I am not sure how she (and apparently many others) is unable to understand how this could be insensitive to some people...Perhaps it's because she is part inanimate object herself...Rocks for brains...This is the type of leadership we can look forward to for the next four years if Walker wins on Tuesday...

The Benefit of Government Assistance...
