You know...not only is this current crop of TP candidates insane and/or incompetent, they are complete whining little wusses. C'mon Joe...put your "man pants" on.

If his new slogan -- "Character doesn't count" -- works, that's good news for Palin in 2012.

I think Paul Bunyan would have called them "flapjacks" -- only some effete commie would call them "pancakes" (or worse, "crepes").
