Bearded local librarian Ben Miller […]

(It’s free, and open to the public, but, if you’d like to attend, you need to register in advance.) Here, […]

Would you pay $5 to berate a public school teacher at Saturday’s “Patriots in the Park” event with Sarah Palin?

By Mark | July 10, 2012

According to reports emanating from the swirling gyre of paranoia and retardation that is the Willow Run Tea Party Caucus, it looks as though everyone’s favorite demagoguing mama grizzly, Sarah Palin, will be with us this weekend, promoting the overthrow of our democratically elected officials and extolling the virtues of corporate fascism.
