Yeah, what a horrible sentiment:

 

The Democratic Party: Where Bitterness is a Virtue

 

The Republican Party: We Know We're Dickheads. Wanna Fight About It?

 

For the record, I personally don't see anything wrong with his opinion that all Americans should live in a multimillion-dollar mansion. Not wild about his childish attacks about what he thinks Obama and his supporters would say about the place. But childish attacks seem to be his M.O. these days.

I do find his attire and his demeanor to be very Thurston Howell-like, which is why I posted the story.

 

Self-knowledge is yet another thing conservatives have over liberals.

 

BTW, I hope Mittens doesn't wear that lapel pin within the District of Columbia, as he could face a $100 fine for desecrating the flag.

Wait, I thought income inequality was good for the economy.

 

Not true. Some of us make our consumer choices based on political choices.
