This is What August 28 Will Always Mean to Me

Friday’s Asshat of the Day
I woke up this morning, looked at the calendar, and could have sworn that we were still in 2010. But it seems that school officials in Nettleton, MS have gone back in time, all the way back to the early 1960’s.

So, in preparation for this weekend’s public teabagging event on the National Mall, today’s winner is Glenn Beck. Not for organizing his rally to self-aggrandizement, but [...]
