Then they'd be howling about the only TWO Amendments that matter.

Not a bad trend, but getting them up to the 14th is gonna take forever.

It's the kind of difference that Morrow would definitely notice - especially if you point it out to him.

Yes it will. And, somewhat tangentially, this reminds me of one of my favorite memories. Back in 1966 or 67, or so, an NCAA Hoop Regional was held in Madison. I was able to get a student ticket. One of the first-round (I think) matchups was Marquette versus Kentucky. This was still the era of all-white Kentucky basketball teams.

It was quite a good game, and Marquette won. And then the Marquette band played, not their fight song, but the Battle Hymn of the Republic. The crowd went crazy (I said Madison, right?). It's a nice memory.

Re: grammar-nazi. My sense is that a bit of grammar-naziism is acceptable, as long as it is funny. Your remark about passing on the flag of traitors would definitely qualify. I liked it.

This rally is way better than going to see the museums and memorials in DC. I'd drop acid to enjoy it even more.

Maybe 'ImpeachTheKenyanUsurper' was a poor password choice.

They changed the Twinkie <strike>recipe</strike> formula? Somebody should tell Robert Morrow about that - he's sure to have a reasonable explanation.

How short-sighted can they be? You have no idea.

The "Ted-mentum" will last until 9:31am ET after the stock market opens and people vote with their dollars.

I find the traitor flag offensive. But here's a deal: Amend the Constitution giving Congress the power to regulate flags. They could ban flag burning. The could ban flying (or owning!) a Confederate flag or a Nazi flag.
