A must read from Daily Kos


This right here. Says it all.

From Geenius at Wrok at Daily Kos ...

About Rebkeh

Progressive in the Midwest, a transplant from both coasts, homesick for the eastern one. Traipsing the line between calling it like I see it and knowing when to keep my thoughts to myself. *note: I slip a lot.
