Wonderful news! Our protests have paid off! Now, let’s get back to work on Mumia!

Go check out the video of this (sorry) inarticulate asshat perfesser making a complete hash of his accusations against Obama after heckling him at a town hall meeting in Florida. What a dope. However, he did elicit this from the Man Of Hope: “I was a civil rights lawyer. I have passed, I passed — hold on a second –I passed the first racial profiling legislation in Illinois. I passed

From Hot Air Headlines comes the news that Kafka’s porn stash has been exposed to the light of day, a blow to Kafkaphiles who would like to preserve the great writer’s image as . . . a normal Joe?
