This is Ann.
I am humbled.
If it takes a village to raise a child, it also takes a community to lay a loved one to rest.
I cannot adequately express my gratitude for the tremendous outpouring of love and support... facebook.com/greg.branch/po

Historians are doing a fine job laying out how Owen is wrong on facts.
I’ll point out that Owens is prominent not because she actually believes anything, but because she’s skilled at knowing what white conservatives want to hear.

Protesters "think the measles vaccine is a bigger threat than the disease itself."
Of course, both are dwarfed by the threat of being born to idiot parents.

Yes, it *is* a tradition!
A thoroughly bipartisan tradition, involving Democrats and Republicans alike.
Let's dig in.

The National Enquirer/Trump connection reminds me of one of my favorite LBJ quotes: "I never trust a man unless I have his pecker in my pocket."

One clear message in today's SOC address from Saginaw Mayor Floyd Kloc to Mich. legislature: restore statutory revenue sharing to what it was intended to be.

Because it's "hip" and "ironic" and "meta" and a "pop culture touchstone" and all sorts of other millennial buzzwords that are code for "we couldn't really come up with a real idea, but we saw this cool old [film]."
Amazon Suggestion for David Pecker:
Because you considered "Blackmailing the Richest Man Who Ever Lived," we recommend you "Get an Orange Jumpsuit."

As much as I want to see the "two-party system" drawn and quartered, somebody needs to tell Howard that it can only dismantled from within. A third-party candidate doesn't have a chance in a frontal assault.

It's nice to know that even here in an obscure small Midwestern town, I'm still not the worst speechwriter in America.

Trump actually said this: "An economic miracle is taking place in the United States -- & the only thing that can stop it are foolish wars, politics, or ridiculous partisan investigations. If there is going to be peace & legislation, there cannot be war & investigation." #SOTU
