I just got home from work and eating Mexican food (not racist, it really is called “Mexican food”) with the family, and am now in stitches laughing. It hurts. I ate a lot. I had heard Keith Olber-dork was “owned” yesterday, but I forgot to read the story I had seen, and Olbermann is an [...]
The larger conversation encompasses a forthright and basic dominant social theme: "Capitalism is prone to error, and government corrects." How in the 21st century anyone can still subscribe to this formula, having seen the damage that governm...
