To over use a Jeff Foxworthy phrase, but “I are one”. Too many urbanites think being out in the country is akin to being down a few IQ points. Funny thing is (especially here in the south) those country drawls you here are a great IQ filter in themselves. Anyone who thinks a slow southern […]

Hillarty Clinton brought politics into the event when she bowed out on the new Sarah Palin was aligned with all the other sane people against Iran and its violent intentions.

The news the Hillary Clinton backer Lynn De Rothschild crossed over to McCain was big splashed across the media and really upset the pro-Obama CNN ‘news’ team.
