We Get Mail
Ah, the life of a liberal blogger is full of pleasand little surprises. Eric Brian of Just my thoughts… shares an email he received from an irate “ugly American.” Upon reading it, one is immediately struck with the realization that … Continue reading

Steeeeeeeee-rike!
Via John Aravosis at AMERICAblog. I’ve never been a baseball fan. Not even when I was living in Georgia, and the Braves went to the World Series. It’s always seemed the most boring sport in the world, with long stretches … Continue reading
