I got a phone call early this morning from Press TV seeking comments on ObamaCare. OK, some people don’t consider 8 a.m. early but my IQ is 15 points higher later in the morning – sometimes breaking into triple digits. What the heck – I enjoyed the chance to start the day by thrashing Obama’s biggest fraud […]
Aspiring Zingers from the Libertarian Hooliganism Speech
