Unsure of your Presidential pick? Might I suggest–Vermin Supreme? He is somehow on Delaware’s ballot as a candidate for the ‘Conservative Party Of DE’, which doesn’t strike me as particularly conservative: Vermin Love Supreme (1960 or 1961) is an American performance artist and activist who has run as a novelty candidate in various local, state, […]

Coward Carney Vetoes End Of Life Legislation
Alternate Title: ‘Carney’s Discomfort Causes Excruciating Pain For The Terminally-Ill’. Waited until after the election to even retrieve the bill, then vetoed it almost immediately: In his veto letter to state lawmakers, Carney said he does not believe there is “firm consensus” on the issue within the medical community. “Although I understand not everyone shares […]
