The braying left-wing radio host and MSNBC weekend parolee is surely hoping that Clinton has a short memory. Clinton and her lesser half are many things, but they aren't possessed of short memories. With speculation already on the rise about the 2016 campaign, Schultz is wasting…

August 16th, 2013 3:19 PM
One thing which is arguably worse for one's health than Obamacare is the act of reading a Paul Krugman column at the New York Times.

August 15th, 2013 4:46 PM
