"It is perfectly legal for a man to beat his wife with a stick, so long as the stick is no thicker than his thumb."

Republicans miss that world and want to take us back there.

Just heard this quote tonight on Melissa-Harris Perry and thought it was appropriate for this thread. (It's also my new sig line)
