And I’ll tell you what else, General McClellan was actually a pretty bad general.

I know, because I remember learning about it in my middle school history class. No seriously, McClellan was doing such a terrible job in the Civil War that Lincoln went to his home to talk to him about it, but … Continue reading

Thanks for inventing the BlackBerry, Senator McCain!

And here I thought all McCain did on the Commerce Committee was open up an airline pattern for direct flights from DC to Phoenix, which he pledged never to use – oh, except for on private corporate jets. Apparently, he … Continue reading

Bill Kristol is an idiot. And a jerk. I met him one time. He sucks.
