Newt Gingrich scammed $7.3 million in $200 increments out of small time Republican donors and blew it on $3.3 million on private plane charters in 2008. desmoinesdem at MYDD has the full run down, but the basic con is this: 1) Newt’s organization “American Solutions” phone banks calling lists with fundraising call disguised as a […]

Diane Butler Bass writes that as a Christian she enjoys paying taxes. Wednesday morning, at 9 a.m. sharp, I took my tax payment to the local post office. When I handed it to the clerk, she said, “I hate tax day.” I replied, “Not me. I don’t love parting with the money, but I kinda […]
Friday’s Open Thread
