J. Marcus When a campaign takes a kitchen sink approach, there needs to be some time spent afterwards to de-rile the masses. Hillary Clinton did this easily, and the votes show she did it successfully, as her goals were the same as Obama’s. John McCain and Sarah Palin have no such desires, so they’ve gone […]

J. Marcus I have never before been as shocked and awed as when I heard Barack Obama use the phrase “Lipstick on a pig”.
