The Scary Speech To School Kids

Hold on. Everybody take a deep breath. Feel better? Ok, I’m going to have to ask some of you to be honest with yourselves for just a second…wasn’t this really a completely partisan reaction? I mean, I understand not wanting your kids to be indoctrinated by socialists. Seriously, I do. I just don’t get why [...]


The One On Health Care

Was talking to a lefty err…progressive buddy of mine tonight, and he brought up something that is too, too true… Whatever ends up being passed it will suck. I don’t think anything will pass.

Smoking Still Legal Near Hospitals
