Posted on January 29, 2012 by asknod

Posted on October 20, 2011 by asknod

Senator Harry Byrd of West Virginia used to inveigh in the Senate when filibustering with a well-known rejoinder-“WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!” (capitalized merely to enunciate his vigor voicing it). Where are you now when we need you, Harry? This horrible piece … Continue reading →

Posted on September 27, 2011 by asknod
