Sigh…I can’t stay away from politics…
Why can’t *WE*, the last bastion of “Democracy” seem to get a damned election right?
Dear Wisconsin and Ohio: #WIunion #OHunion
We are a country arguing over the last cookie instead of going after the guys who took the rest of them.
Defending marriage? Let’s outlaw divorce.
