They've got the po state/fat state/red state contingent all worked up about some "others" maybe getting their piece of the pie. (In most of their cases, btw, that would be a Moon Pie, with and RC Cola on the side.)<br /><br />What is so distressing is that I really think those talk radio guys could care less about American politics, or even America. They're just rabble-rousing amongst the unwashed masses to make a buck.<br /><br />It's very depressing.vqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062192586374453535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2803141013367728379.post-16279953507656932552010-10-29T08:24:34.482-05:002010-10-29T08:24:34.482-05:00Well . . .
