Calling all lunatics...

It's open season! Liars and swindlers can be president!!!

Racism will get you elected!

A phone call will get you ownership of our 24-hour news cycle addition.

Get your gun! It's your turn for everyone to learn your name!

I have to have PBS, Tennis Channel, C-Span. The internet replaces the need for "news" and "commentary" without disgusting loud commercials. Have found listening to books on Audible helps me through the boring stuff I have to do every day.
