Election Night 2012… results, interpretation, and celebration

By Mark | November 6, 2012

OK, I’ve got my beer and I’m in front of a television… let’s do this, America. 8:13 I just talked with Growing Hope’s Amanda Edmonds. She heard from a friend of hers this morning that there was a handwritten sign telling voters at the Huron County Township Hall that state-issued voter ID was mandatory. Amanda [...]

Tomahawk chops, war whoops, and the bubbling racism at the heart of Scott Brown’s Senate campaign

By Mark | September 26, 2012

I was proven wrong [...]

In hopes of salvaging the weekend news cycle, Romney, just moments ago, announced Tea Party favorite Paul Ryan as his running mate

She reminded Fox News viewers that Romney was responsible for bringing universal health care to the the people of Massachusetts when [...]
