I Am Smarter Than Patrick Murphy
A few weeks ago, I called PA Democrat Patrick Murphy to task for his support of Stainy Whore’s FISA Amendments Act, aka The Protect AT&T Act of 2008.

My friend Ryan is a big man. He’s easily over 6 feet tall, and outweighs me by, well by a lot. The guy’s got arms [...]
