Call me crazy…………but I still have these issues with Obama…….
;->
pretty much sums it up…
someone at volokh said something to that effect right after the election and glen greenwald went on one of his great rages about how that was just not true of his partisans! i wonder if you and/or mankiw will be subjected to the same treatment…only one way to find out: to the sock puppets!

I consider it warm…kind of like stretching before you exercise.
