First came the news that, despite what he told us while running for President, Barack Obama really did sit in his “spiritual advisor’s” church every Sunday imbibing Black Liberation Theology. For 20 years. Where he picked up absolutely nothing that will affect his worldview, we’re to believe.

According to the nonpartisan legislative analyst, Mac Taylor, the state’s deficit will actually be
