“…don’t blow sunshine up my butt…” I love Allen West. Hope the man runs for POTUS. The Shark Tank was at this townhall meeting when a representative of CAIR grew a couple and mewed ‘if it’s not in the book, it’s not happening’ in West’s direction. He probably shouldn’t have done that… At a townhall [...]

My first thought this morning: ‘…it’s just another Manic Monday’. But if we can go to far off planets [or have I just been watching too much Star Trek?], surely we can get through Mondays with a little style.

Let me get this straight… A sitting president and his party is [at least partially] behind the protests in Wisconsin? They’re busing protesters in? The DNC website shows a dramatic headline reading ‘The Fight for Worker’s Rights’.
