Dramatic Reading of the Drama Queen

13 Comments
On Tuesday, Christine O'Donnell's new book will be on sale to peddle her lies and mis-characterizations. Among the reported lies in the book, Christine claims:
  • Mike Castle and Joe Biden conspired to bring down her campaign
  • She never approved the infamous "I am not a witch" ad
  • She was a serious candidate
So Ken Grant has decided to ask the reality-based community to get together at the BBC Tavern on Tuesday evening for a happy hour and selected dramatic readings of Ms. O'Donnell's ...ummm... works.

Entitlement Reform

We must have entitlement reform! That's been the mantra of the Republican lemmings that have been following Paul Ryan toward the horizon. They use the word entitlement like it is some sort of slur. "Why do those people feel entitled to anything?" And just so that we are clear, the entitlements on the table are for the old and the sick.
