Dec 05, 2011 10 Comments

Listen, Newt Gingrich is a political whore. That’s right; I said it, and I friggin’ meant it. Truth is, Newt hasn’t met a dollar he didn’t like.

Dec 01, 2011 1 Comment

Sometimes I neglect to write simply because I realize that my writing is driven by more passion then it is by academia.
