Tapper shares the somewhat horrifying detail that they added some music for her too, leaving us ...

Is It Safe To Call Him The "Affirmative Action" President Yet? The days of knuckledraggers running America seem a lifetime ago.

Sinister, manipulative plotters excel at presenting exquisitely personalized and appropriate gifts. Your cousin from Carrot River who likes jumping ditch-to-ditch on his Arctic Cat - ...
