Word ...

Mr. President: Don’t tell us you are sane. Show us.

Left or right

You know America has become a banana republic when every movement — occupy, tea party or make America great again — ends in a wealth transfer to the ruling donor class

Never mind

Just when I'm starting to think that maybe we don't need the death penalty, along comes Tommy McNeal to prove how stupid I was to ever consider that.

Lost words, spirit

The statement written at the base of the Statue of Liberty reads, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free.” It does not say “Go back to your s---hole nation.”
