July 25, 2009

I've been pointing out that conservatives, with their Ever-ready-powered Villager media stenographers in tow, are together reaching critical mass in their oppostion to Obama and the Democrats' attempts to reform health care in America.

Down With The Flu

May 4, 2009

No, not me. I'm not down with the flu.
