I try to tell younger friends that politics wasn&#039;t completely filled with lunatics in the past but now they see it all as theater. Pretty bad theater at that.
This is the Invisible Dead Hand of Nixon, rising out of his grave to smite another descendant of his cronies. Remember that the Trickster used to call George Allen Sr and suggest plays the Chesapeake Bay Region Indigenous Persons could use along their inevitable path towards the Super Bowl. Now all are being punished with the curse of Shanahan and Snyder.
Tax the rich? The horror! The horror!

Proving once again that facts have a liberal bias.
Guess all the editors are saving their snark for tomorrow&#039;s debate?

You know, Mittborg, you have yet to have the mortuary effect on your namesake as on Palinzadummy. Squeeze harder in snapping this presidential log.
