Yuck. A stench over this city. Repukes everywhere.

Walker at the ballpark, Graham at repuke headquarters, Santorum at a local restaurant, all in one friggin' day. Add their hot air to an already steamy day and it may be time to get away for a day or two.
Davenport, Iowa in case anyone is wondering.

I am glad I do not live in an 'early' state. You are not far from the great museums and good restaurants in Chicago. Treat yourself! Your sanity is worth it. And a book store, smile.

Maybe it's time to pay them a visit. Me and the husband can drink beer and watch the Cubs. The wives can do what they want.

It sure was nice to get away from all the GOP dumb fuckery going on in 2012 even for a couple weeks. In any event it was nice to go somewhere where Sarah Palin was little more than a nasty rumor used to scare small children.

Plus when I was in Italy in 2010 it was a little over a month before election day and it was nice to get away from all the non stop commercials then too.

Like - what is your alternative to the ACA and please be specific since I need this to survive.
Then enjoy the squirming.

...State Troopers nearby so that when he was done yelling at someone who dared challenged his bulkiness he could have them rushed out of the room.
