The biggest post-election losers… Or, six old white men that need to be set adrift on ice floes

By Mark | November 14, 2012

Bobby Jindal, the Republican Governor of Louisiana, when asked a few days ago to reflect on the election, said, “We cannot be, we must not be, the party that simply protects the rich so they get to keep their toys.” Sure, he’s probably lying, but I still think it’s safe to say that this comment, […]

Syed Taj on the separation of church and state, going up against extremist conservative candidates, and running for the House of Representatives as a Muslim
