I still miss GEnie.

One of the many questions we need to be asking every elected official, particularly as midterms roll in, is “why is there money for a war Congress didn’t vote for and most voters don’t want, but none for health care?”

T-minus three weeks until “why don’t women want to date them?”

YES! Do a victory dance that the puppy-killer is out, then we need to refocus on those still actively abusing.

Shine a very bright light until they all scuttle back under their rocks forever.
