The Religion of Nice

by Terry September 8, 2009

So here we are, wallowing in our dysfunction. Governed — if you listen to the rabble rousers — by a black nationalist from Kenya smuggled into the United States to kill Sarah Palin’s baby.

by Terry September 21, 2008

Guess who took this picture.
John McCain still thinks someone wants to put him in a box.
