Because I am lazy, I am posting this commentary that I wrote for this week’s Free Press. Hope you like it. Though it’s not funny, and sort of waters down the stuff I’ve been writing about on here. –Begin Document– How did this happen? How did Hillary Clinton, the former First Lady and astonishingly popular senator from [...]

I forgot that my girlfriend has a game tonight at seven p.m., so I’m gonna have to go to that shit first. Then I’ll be back around 8:30 p.m. to watch the results [...]
