I’m probably one of the least anti-bankster people ’round these parts, but I don’t agree with John that Occupy Wall Street is a bad idea. New York is a city that goes 80% Democrat in national elections, but it’s also where many, maybe most, Galtian overlords live. If you scare these motherfuckers enough (and I’m …
Deep so deep so deep
For whatever reason, liberals never talk this way: “No other candidate on that stage has the record that I have,” Perry said. “Yep, there may be slicker candidates and there may be smoother debaters, but I know what I believe in.
