OURcountry?

Published by Mark at 12:36 am

A short link-following-quest on facebook lead me to a site called OURcountry.com. The idea behind it is to be a sort of “Daily Show for the other half of the country” and a “youtube with brains.” Throw in some social networking and you’ve got their site. I decided to check it out and see if [...]

Please let Edwards win the primary…

Published by Mark at 12:10 pm

Power Line put up a quote from Edwards in the WSJ regarding how he thinks we should deal with Iran. Such brilliance would be the source of endless fun on the official campaign trail.
