Angry Liberal Guy Rant
Via Boing Boing, C.B. Shapiro writes about why there seem to be “angry liberals” (count me among them), making a list of exactly why he/we/I think that our country is in far worse shape than it was before the Bush administration: I’ve compiled a short (and by no means complete) list just so I could ...
