This may be the funniest thing I've read in a long time. (Tell me again why Iowahawk wasn't even nominated for Best Humor Blog?) I triple dog dare you to read through it without breaking out into uproarious, teary-eyed laughter. And that's saying a lot, as I also have been perusing through this book recently. … [Read more...]
Fraudulent ACORN’s Fallout: How Far From Barack Obama’s Campaign Tree?
