OK, B.O., I suspect you're not going to pay attention to basic, third-grade stuff, because you don't bother to use object pronouns following prepositions. Your willingness or capacity to absorb third-grade lessons aside, I offer this simple math, based on today's new-home numbers. [more]

I find this deeply disturbing. Twitter, of course, is a narcissist's dream come true, so it's not surprising. Still, I have to believe that these lawmakers have better things to do -- such as actually paying attention to the important issues before them. [more]
