Tired of Obama, Gingrich, and Romney? I certainly am. Here’s bumper sticker that offers an interesting alternative candidate for this election year. At least you can’t accuse him of lying: [NOTE: If you don’t know who “Cthulhu” is, see this.] … Continue reading →
[NOTE: Please make sure you watch the video at the end of the post.] It’s reported that Newt Gingrich is preparing a new and “brutal” anti-Romney ad. Part of it is alleged to go something like this: “Romney said he … Continue reading →
…which I didn’t watch. I read some of it, and many comments about it as well, and watched some video excerpts. The consensus seems to be that for the most part Gingrich looked rattled and off his game, and that … Continue reading →
