Mar 2012

last few weeks went from laughing my ass of to kinda concerned.

how could they be so inept, i'm starting to think they are up to something or somebody is up to something on there side.

this cycle is not like the others before, for obvious reasons like what Michael steel did, but it just seems like they are trying to delegitimize the coming election or something.

i dunno. they were always stupid but never this stupid.
