Loathsome Ted

With a face made for radio, we can chalk up Senator Sourpus’s electoral successes, not to the appeal of his personality, but to the professionals running his campaign.

WHY BERNIE MUST BE PREZ

Don’t let those punchy headlines fool you;  it’s the black and white Bernie who’s telling it like it is.   My twenty-one year old car is old enough to vote, and like Bernie Sanders, is time-worn and tested to go whatever distance.  Like anything worthwhile it requires occasional maintenance, so it was off to Mike the mechanic today for a checkup.  I …
