I’ve watched as cold-hearted tea bagging idiots have systematically sought to pay for corporate tax breaks with the blood of our […]
UPDATE: On May 5, 2012, Dana posted the following in in a blog post: I just had an email exchange with Cathy Brennan that didn’t turn out like I thought it would. I found out she doesn’t give a shit about me..and never did. I guess Dana finally understands the outrage many of us felt […]
