They’re Too Paranoid to Trust with Guns

Santa Skipped the GOP This Year
Monday, Dec 10, 2012

It’s been a month since Barack Obama was re-elected president, despite how utterly convinced all of my Republican friends were that it would never happen.  In retrospect, I really should have made more bets on the outcome, as I’d be on easy street right now. In the post-mortem, lots of different...
