This is not just idiotic, but solipsitic. Rush Limbaugh says “I know I’m widely despised, so that means that by criticizing John McCain, I’m helping the Republican party!” And I’m sure that should Clinton get the nomination, she’ll do something… Continue Reading
…Hillary doesn’t have a chance. He knows because he told an offensive joke and didn’t get the reaction he expected. Yes, that Penn, one of the guys who makes Bullshit! and does magic shows in Vegas. Well, what works in… Continue Reading
