Are those guys White Dude enough for ya, or what!? I haven’t seen the original videos or the uncut videos of Sherrod’s speech, so I don’t know what my opinion is of that matter yet, but I do know that Violet is 100% correct about the muck and mire that is the left-wing Blogger Boyz’ [...]

And he and his gang will do it again too, if we let them. But this time, Pumas are still sounding the alarm.

Boston Boomer has a great post up about the insanity of trying to be sane in an insane world.
