I am going to start a general literacy program for Democrats, since the schools seem to be failing them and they simply can not comprehend even the smallest of sentence. Today’s example is from Pandagon: John Cole gets very angry that Democrats are critcizing Bush for having failed to attend even a single funeral for …
Why You Should Be Defending Ezra
