27. I rember the old days too...

Mar 2014

We were all in shock over the elections, still angry over the Clinton/Starr investigations and the impeachment attempt. It brought like minds together in a safe environment. The outrage and disbelief at the depths conservatives were willing to go shocked us still...I think now that it's become such an hourly thing it has numbed us to all but the worst of outrages...i can't say I'm not guilty of it sometimes myself.
