At some point this blog has to say something about the good that has come from the “election” (in quotes, so it wasn’t really an election per se) of Agent Orange to the presidency.  It has to be done because we’re all Americans and, at some point, communication and healing have to begin.  But we don’t have to be saintly about it…we can be snarky.  Now snarkiness, something Liberals and […]
