To Cop A Line From James Taranto…
…They told me if I voted for Republicans, we’d rush into wars and shred the Constitution. And they were right! Clinton plainly admitted the administration would ignore any and all attempts by Congress to shackle President Obama’s power as commander … Continue reading

Because Victoria’s Secret Doesn’t Sell Children’s Sizes…
