Throw All the Bums Out in November
“I’m mad, and I’m just not going to take it anymore,” snapped Crawford Notch. “Throw all the bums out in the November election. No exceptions.” “Just what’s making you so mad Crawford,” I replied. “The federal government’s my problem, that’s what,” groused Crawford. “It’s wasted my tax money, and has nothing to show for it.

Frank Guinta is rolling out a website where he, as the appointed spokesperson for the people, asks them to set the terms of the dialog. He calls his newest website “YourHouseYourVoice.com” (One irony I will mention on passing is that Guinta, like most neocons, likes to deride his opponents as “Marxists,” “Communists,” and “socialists”— while [...]
