"When I do not want to say things in real life I often say them here." — Mimi Smartypants
I’m disappointed, but not surprised. What did surprise me was the tin ear most liberal bloggers had for the tune America’s been singing all along.

You say potatoe, I say potato . . . Now that cooler weather’s returned, hungry Hash House Harriers want hot food at on-afters.
