One side is Center Right and corrupt, but sane. The other side is Far Right, also corrupt, and crazier than an outhouse rat on crystal meth.<br /><br />(2) The Center Right does not have nearly as loud a Mighty Wurlitzer as the Far Right. If and when MSNBC becomes as powerful as Faux Noise, then the BSDI meme may become more credible.Ivory Bill Woodpeckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01318699512583970467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-40923965681388001722015-03-24T16:25:07.224-05:002015-03-24T16:25:07.224-05:00I know what you mean.

I've left a very small donation (wish it could be more) but just wanted you to know I really admire you and Ms. Glass for the talents - and the genuine human beings - that you are.
