Melissa Clouthier over at Pajamas Media put her finger on something that was bugging me, but I couldn’t figure out why.  A day or two ago my wife pointed me to an article where Brit Hume, doing what the rest of the entire planet has been doing since Thanksgiving, put in his two cents worth on [...]

Am I a rightwing extremist?

April 16th, 2009 | 3 Comments
